I finished my 12th  Taxel treatment and happy with myself, "I actually made it.

But this past weekend, i have experienced spontaneous nosebleeds and I am so bummed out.

I fear not beng able to work because of it.

 I understood the other side effects but never anticipated this one.

I appreciate any comments.

Thanks!

    Ayr brand Saline Nasal Gel

    Ayr brand Saline Nasal Gel also works great for nosebleeds and buring from chemo.  I put it on the end of a qtip and put the qtip in my nostril.  I get Ayr at Walgreens
