http://myhotelyorba.com/2013/07/31/my-mouth-hurts/ Take the wife of The Man, mom of The Boy and a H.C.B., a decade with cancer and see what happens.

Think of money you save on cuts and color, as well as time washing and drying. I leased a convertible for a while after chemo and my “no more hair maintenance fund” practically paid for a year of the lease! Plus no hair blowing in my face when driving with top down! The trade off for chemo is worth it. Hair grows back. But cancer does not! It’s a no brainer! Mouth sores another story! They do go away! Hang in there! Geri

That is one thing that I didn’t get, but a few of my homies in my support group did. I can’t imagine losing my taste buds AND dealing with the sores. On the hair… I agree with your mom…a close buzz…lets you adjust a bit before the shiny pate appears. That is what I did. Still difficult to do..I cried throughout the entire thing. Robin met me at the wig shop where I had it done (yeh, I wore a wig, but wouldn’t do it again…embrace your inner old man..{remind me to tell you my old man story sometime}) and helped keep me from totally falling apart…then we went out to lunch to give me that public exposure right away… I hate that you are going through this.. love you and thinking of you..

The recipe says it is good to stay overnight – so I plan on dropping it off tomorrow.

The only beverage that didn’t taste metallic when I was on chemo was orange crush, so orange crush it was for a year. I didn’t experience the mouth sores-sorry about that! Not fun.
