6 months agoHi Kiara H This is Haydee , well wend I had chemotherapy my nose use to bleed . And that is cause your plat are down second you lose your hair from all over your body include the hair of your nose . Those hair are there to protect from virus and other streche thing coming inside And those hair captures dust that it became in (mucus ) . So know you don’t have those hair and the pores of your nose are open and wend water come down from your nose , it inherited your pores of your nose .and There is wend blood come . Know ! You have to be aware of your play and blood your defense come down and more properly to get sick whit virus . I use to put ..NEOSPORIN AND HELP A LOT specially in the night and help for virus not come in your systems .

6 months agoHaydee thank you for this I was wondering why but thank you for this explanation I'll try to keep on a mask. I keep my nose flushed with baby saline because it's more gentle and I keep myself hydrated with plenty of fluids and I juice a lot so hopefully I see a difference within the next week or before my next infusion I also have a humidifier for the baby, but it also helps for me as well
