Not much I can add. I'm sure the Spudda family are all rallied and looking after your wife.

Agree and hope things approve with the service and care you get but most importantly your wife recovers and is treated well.D6 wrote:More I hear about hospitals, the more useless they sound.

Re: The Big C ......
Theyve given us quite a comprehensive list of side effects but thats something they havent mentioned
They mentioned loosing the taste of food / drink etc but not teeth
Is that something we need to watch out for ??

Re: The Big C ......
I'm probably the last person you should be asking....I don't know how the treatments vary....my mate had leukemia for many years, and that was how it affected him....not much hair loss to speak of, but he was already well on his way to becoming prematurely bald. But his teeth decayed quite rapidly, and he would have to visit the dentist almost as much as the chemo.

Re: The Big C ......
Glad she is not feeling too sick the first bout of chemo. Her hair loss will probably make her feel worse to be honest. It might not mean so much to men but to us ladies it is our very core of how we look. It's something we can't hide from others when you don't always want people to know what is wrong
My Mums cancer is too far advanced to have chemo so the side effects I can't comment on . My sister in law when she had it did not affect her teeth but i suppose everyones different .
Good luck for round 2 and with all the support around you everything should turn out good

Re: The Big C ......
I think all types of cancer require a different cocktail of drugs which will produce different side effects.
All of them aren't pleasant, and need a good support system around them including Spudda and spudlets

Re: The Big C ......
From father in laws experience which was chemo for a different kind of cancer, the teeth loosening only happens when you have had successive chemo sessions over a number of years and even then they don't all just fall it. You might get the odd one come loose.

Re: The Big C ......
Mark, my sister-in-law battled breast cancer two years ago and had no ill effects on her teeth. She's been cancer free for a year now.Kwacky wrote:Leukemia and its treatment are wholly different to breast cancer.
