Terry,

I went down that path during treatment round 1. Make sure you get your doc to check it out just in case it's Thrush. Thrush is pretty common on tx.

My doc gave me a swish and swallow solution called Carafate and it cleared me right up. For round 2 of tx which I expect is going to start on Sunday, I got this stuff called Biotene Oral Gel. Someone on another board recommended it. The box said it's especially for folks that are doing medications and radiation therapy. I know the other Biotene products are great (mouthwash and toothpaste).

Anyway, give it a shot if your doc says it's o.k.

P.S. I had what I called "fire tongue". Anything other than bland food just literally hurt like hell.

Terry....I started off tx with a sore throat that developed into thrush. I wised up when it started speading and started using the Biotene mouthwash several times a day and before bedtime. Most importantly, I severely reduced my sugar intake. Problem solved. Staying hydrated helps but it didn't do anything for this problem.

Hi Terry
I am also having issues with my mouth. I use the Biotene toothpaste, spray, and mouthwash. Drink tons of water and check with your doc cuz I know I am going to ask for a prescription tomorrow when I go for my appointment. It gets too expensive buying the toothpaste and mouthwash as opposed to a $5.00 copay at the pharmacy. Best wishes on your journey thru tx!!

Yes I did get mouth sores that were terrible. Go the the doc and get a script for it. Don't let it get to bad. Best of luck with it. I know it's tough. Peace NoniLv

Hi Terry - thanks for your question, I'm into 10 weeks of tx now & have had sores in my mouth for a few weeks. Had no idea it could be tx related so now i'll stop ignoring it & see my doctor... best of luck with it :)

I've had trush twice. My doctor gave me some disks that melt in your mouth to get rid of it. I've also had mouth sores now and then. I try to stay away from foods high in acid. I didn't know that sugar in take can make the Trush more likely. Thanks for the info TSuzy.

his is my third time for tx and I remember my first time I broke out with warts on my hands and feet. I have nervous nellies to my right and pinheads to my left but this really freaked people out. They REALLY treated me like a leper, especially a pastor I know.Sometimes church people can be really judgemental. He doesn't get it. But I tried vitamin e oil and everything went away. I'm thinking my immune system was compromised. Now I need to worry about thrus. God bless. David

Yes. Push the water. Try some juises that you can tolerate. Some warm tea is good Anything soothing. I made the mistake of downing a pitcher of water trying to get my 8 glasses at once. Wrong! this can do you in. It is called water coma where all that water goes to the brain. Everybody be careful. What next? Diet water anyone?

Havent started treatment yet but I have had those sores in my mouth.THANK GOD they really werent painful.Take good care of my teeth and have good oral hygiene.They went away w/o any real probs. val
