Advice please - will my husband get a sore mouth from chemoradiotherapy?

Hi,.

My husband is in his 4 th week of chemoradiotherapy, he does have a sore throat, which is being well treated by morphine and pregablin, he seems to be doing well, but, I have a question, his mouth isn't sore at all, will that come later or might it not happen?

Up to last week he actually lost weight, and the consultant said if he loses any this week, he will have a feed tube, that has soured him on, so, has been forcing himself to eat, weighed today, he h  actually put a little on!... the specialist was amazed..so, it's a happy day today

Thank youxxx

  • OOh,

    chemo is tough, not sure what he is on.  i was given mouth wash which helped and will have a look to send you. I lost weight and drank milk shakes - chemo made me feel so ill and i really didn't want to eat, but they kept on the weight - important you keep up calories to help heal - happy to chat.

    good luck !
