Checked in with the Doc today and I also have a case of thrush going on. But other than that I feel good. Went and got my head shaved today. Suprised that it hasn't freaked me out. I kinda of feel that it is my Red Badge of Courage and that I now belong to an elite group of women. HEAR US ROAR!!!!!

    I got thrush with each AC
    I got thrush with each AC eused the nystatin swish and swallow for 4 days and it was gone. throat and tongue was a little sore too. no mouth sores. but I was told to use peridex too. because the WBC does not drop like with AC I am not getting it with taxol.

    Vicki: I also had a very low white blood count following each of my treatments. Follow your doctor's orders and you will bounce back and the thrush and sores will go away. Good luck with the rest of your treatments. jane
