BLOODY NOSE

LizzieJane, I had TAC but no
LizzieJane, I had TAC but no bloody nose issues. A friend who does not post here did have a bloody nose off and on. That is common, I believe, with Avastin. If you chemo is a trial with Avastin, that would be an explanation.
I recommend reporting the symptom to your onc. Sorry I can't give you more info. There are so many random s/e from different chemo regimens--it's hard to know sometimes what is a "normal" side effect and what is not. My best to you, LizzieJane. You will make it through, crazy symptoms and all. Just hang in there.0 -

I also experienced a bloody nose for about 10 days following each chemo. treatment. My doc. thought that it may be related to low platelets. I had taxotere and cytoxan and I recall reading that a bloody nose may be a side effect. Like the other side effects, this goes away after treatment ends. Hang in there! Jane0 -

Yes I had bloody nose when I was on A/C and then on Taxol w/Herceptin but since I am on Herceptin alone now I haven't had one.

Me, too!
Since chemo, my nose has been dripping and I have also had unexpected bloody noses. It doesn't help that winter is Utah is dry - and the heater dries things out even more. I have little spots on the inner lining of my nose that have little bloody spots - and then the occasional full-on bloody nose! Such a charming side effect!

I had bloody noses also. I had a sore in my nose, i would put neosporin in my nose and that seemed to help.0 -

I had bloody noses also. I had a sore in my nose, i would put neosporin in my nose and that seemed to help.
I would run it by my onc, but I have used the saline nasal spray to keep the mucous membranes moist. that might help. if its the dryness. but if you are bleeding alot it could be platelets and they need to know. I would watch it taking ibuprophen and things like that too.0 -

So sorry about your nose bleeds. My nose would alternate between dripping and extremely dry. I was surprised it didn't bleed. Do let your Onc. know about it though, as you should about ANY/ALL s/e.(found out by a "scolding" from my Onc.) Back b/4 my first Chemo, I had a cold or something. I postponed the first one. 2nd one, I was still congested, but my counts were good so they went ahead & surprised me into my first Chemo treatment. Depends on your blood work. In the meantime, rest up & get well so you can tackle those last three.
Take Care
