Bleeding from the mouth after chemo treatment

Chemo makes your mucous membranes slough off
till you're down to hamberger in your mouth. Be very gentle with the suctioner...I had bleeding mouth sores for 3 weeks after every 5FU treatment. Glad you have a PEG, so you don't have to try and feed yourself while you have hamberger mouth...
