I am with mum and she is complaining of thrush and mouth ulcers.has anyone else had thrush while on doxil, I asked if her mouth and tongue looked normal she said it she has a whitish film on her tongue , so I am wondering if she has thrush in her mouth, is this common?
We have got come canestan this morning and some cream for mouth ulcers , so hoping that will clear it up. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks x Liz x

    Hi Liz
    My mum's not on Doxil
    Hi Liz

    My mum's not on Doxil but she has had oral thrush with the Carboplatin. She got something on prescription for the thrush (a bottle with a dropper), not sure of the name, but will find out. For the mouth ulcers, I'd highly recommend Difflam mouthwash. You can get it over the counter or from the chemo nurses. It numbs the mouth a bit and helps take away the pain so is useful to use before eating.

    Big hug for you and your mum. xxxx

    It's great for the mouth ulcers. For the thrush, you need nystatin or Diflucan.
