Thank you ladies !!! Just sitting making loads of notes on recommendations/suggestions. I found if I slowly suck on jelly snakes it eases the mouth pain, but I think I've already eaten body weight of them and ohh the sugar overload!! And of course its only temporary....as soon as it disappears the little drying team makes a dash around my teeth and gums!! My toothpaste does nothing so may change direction there. I will speak with Oncology team - I am a victim of cold sores so it is an avenue to consider. I truly thank you all xxx
