Your care team should be able to help you with some of the side effects. If you don’t have a team the nurses at your chemo site should be able to help you. Please call them. I was given information about side effects as what I could do. But, I also called. You may be able to rinse your mouth with a warm salt water and baking soda solution. You may be able to take something for your headaches. My scalp did start being sore as I started losing my hair. It was better in time. My hair stylist helped me with my hair as it was falling out. I got a wig and head coverings . The fatigue is normal, rest when you need to. You will get through this. One of my friends told me if my hair was falling out, then the cancer is being removed too. Take care.

Dr told me I would start hair loss at 3rd week but it actually started 2nd week. Gone in a weekend but I had no problems with pain or discomfort with it. For me, the mouth was a real problem - ulcers, sores, loss of taste, tooth movement. I was told to use non alcohol antibacterial mouthwash several times a day it it helped. I’m still having problems over 2 years later and don’t know if it’s still from that or from the ai therapy but just finished 4th crown in 18 months. Did have to deal with the nasty bone/muscle aches from the combination of chemo and Neulasta but usually ibuprofen would take care of that and it was only 2-3 days. As to the “toxicity screen”, can’t help you. It was never mentioned or done with mine.
