Hi LoVonna,
I did not have a fungus on my tongue after chemo (is it thrush?), but I did have a sore that would not heal. (I had terrible mouth sores from the chemo.) I freaked out! I went to the dentist and he prescribed a mouthwash for me. It stained my teeth, but it worked. My mouth was completely healed. It was called chlorhexidine gluconate and you need a prescription for it.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs.

Thanks ladies. My doc has called me in another perscription to try, just picked it up.
As far as the happy dance, my happy dance came early, good news/bad news situation. Made it through 3 treatments out of 6. Blood cell counts were good, but my blood pressure was dangerously low and my oncologist decided my body was not tolerating well so stopped the treatments.
This board has been great, very encouraging to read from others.
God Bless you all,
LoVonna
