Chemo and oral thrush

Has anyone experienced this. 12 days ago I had FEC treatment for breast cancer. For 10 days I have had a dry mouth, sore throat, ulcers on my gums and tongue. I have tried mouthwashes,  every kind of medication. Finally got antibiotics for oral thrush but still in so much pain, difficult to talk or eat. So miserable. 
Unable to go to doctors or hospital because of Virus so just talking to oncologist nurses. 
At least the sun is out and can spend some time in the garden . Xx

  • Hi Silver,

    Just wanted to send you a reply as, while I can't directly help, my reply here will boost your post so more people will see it and if anyone has any similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    I hope things improve for you and do make sure to get advice from the nurses as appropriate.

    Looks like a sunny week this week so hope you can enjoy more time in the garden.

    Wishing you all the best,
