I just started treatment with ABVD. I am 23 and pretty scared. The mouth sores are the worst side effect I've ever had. Is there anything I can do?

im sorry no ones been able to help you so far, including myself.
the only help i can give you is preventative, which is to brush and floss every night from now on. but that doesnt get rid of the current problem. If you can look up the number for the american cancer society, they have people there who may also be able to help you out. all the best :)

The doctor told my daughter to swish with baking soda and water. Get a soft head toothbrush. It helps her alot. She swish 4 or 5 times a day.

Ask your oncologist for "Mary's Magic Mouthwash." It's by prescription only, and it is wonderful for healing mouth sores. Over the counter you can buy Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste. It is helpful in keeping things in check. The baking soda and water tip is also quite helpful. Regardless of what you use, be sure to rinse or brush each time you eat and before bedtime.

Oh...I also have used a mouthwash called "Prevention." I found it at Walgreens. Ask the pharmacist to help you find it. It's formulated for cancer patients.
