That's good advice: monitor your temperature above all. But if you're ok on that, maybe you're experiencing a cracking side-effect that I had, too. I didn't have mouth ulcers but after my first docetaxel the whole inside of my mouth and throat swelled up. It hurt like tonsilitis but more widespread--just felt like I'd drunk something poisonous (which is close to the truth I guess). My tonsils were swollen and a little gunky. I had a bit of a fever but mostly low-grade, like 37.5. My next scheduled chemo was delayed thanks to this and low white blood cell count (even though I was doing the neulasta injections).
Keep monitoring your temp. If no fever, you should still get onto it quickly. Tell your gp's receptionist what's going on and maybe they'll find an appt for you. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Go well,
