Tc chemo and dehydration

Diagnosed Patient or Survivor Support

First round✔️ I’m a bit over a week out after my first round so thinking ahead to next and what I can do better. I thankfully faired pretty well. My main concern with mext round is hydration. I LOVE water, drink it all day. Was hydrating well I thought. But some back spasms I think were telling me I was more dehydrated than I thought. Given the dry mouth, skin etc associated with tc chemo (maybe all) i’d say it’s safe to say it’s hard to maintain hydration!

So best advice? I don’t really like drinks with flavor. tried some electrolytes packs. I truly just drink ice water daily. Maybe a good electrolyte water? I’m thinking of asking for appt or two for fluids in days following. This is my area that needs dramatic improvement next session!
