I have heard
I have heard of it happening to people who have posted on this site. I was fortunate that it did not happen to me. Talk to your Doctor, but I think the cure may be to change drugs or wait till you are done with chemo.
Sorry you are having this problem. seof0 -

Will ask my Onc. about it tomorrow at my #2 Chemo session. Asking for prayers for courage and less side effects this time around.0 -
thrush
I had thrush 3 times wile on A/C. I had to refill my prescription to clear it up each time. I forget the name of it but it was an anti-fungal med. Take the meds because it can travel down your throat and that would be much worse. It happened to me and I could barely swallow.
It'll clear in a few days....take care and all the best to you. It'll be over before you know it!!

gargle with a mixture of water, salt and baking soda. My nurse gave me a bottle of it, use it a few times a day. It worked for me.0 -

I would start gargling (wow, that really IS a word) on the day of chemo, and would do it for about 5 days after. I never had mouth problems....except the one time I forgot for a few days. Here's the secret: Get a pretty container (I used a vintage juice pitcher from the 50's), mix up the "recipe" (kinda like the Baldwin sisters' on "The Waltons"!) and set it in the bathroom,with some kind of cover (I used a wide-mouth canning jar lid) with plenty of paper cups. Every time you visit the bathroom, rinse your mouth with the recipe (I'll find it and post it tomorrow). Works like a charm.
Here's my guess on the recipe (it's been a looooong 2 days, most of it spent driving in the dark)
1 quart water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda.
If that's wrong, the tsp. should be 1/2 tsp. Hope that helps. If I knew how to search for my old posts, I'd find it.0 -
