I am having big problems with my mouth this time. Ulcers around my tonsils and back of throat, uncomfortable. White coated tongue and that aweful taste. I cant get to the back of my throat, what should I gargle with? Bi carb soda still or perhaps Betadine throat gargle? Thanks girls
Hi Bel,
Sorry I didn't see this to reply earlier. I had the mouth ulcer from hell round one...thankfully no more (yet) and just yesterday I did my last round...yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok...more importantly..put onto kenalog by a friend...it's an old fashioned ulcer remedy and not available at all chemists so don't give up till you find some. You put it on at night and it dries on there like a blob of concrete. Because it stops the salvia going into it, it gives it the chance to actually dry up and heal. Nothing else was working for me, and this cleared it up totally in days...and it was the size of half a 20cent piece. Ouch.
Difflam is fantastic for gargling ... has an anaethestic in it to numb your mouth and throat.
Hopefully you're all healed by now, but if not I hope this helps.

Regular warm salt water rinses is supposed to help heal & Bonjela is good for pain. My Mum used to get lots of ulcers & now doesnt so I'll ask her what she did. She doesnt have bc.
As for scalp problems. Im about to do 6 weeks radiation & my Mum has bought me some almond oil to use. Havent tried it yet but heard its brilliant, natural & chemical free unlike other creams.
Wishing you well, Justine
Poor you, I used Biotene too I have found this excellent and I use this 4 times a day to keep clear.
Chemo round 2 for me tomorrow, my doctor has cut down my dosage of Dex yay as that was a killer last time. We are hoping for less side effects this round but I am all preapred and have drugs in the ready this time.
Sending hugs
Take care
Donna
Hey Bel, I had the ulcers really bad too I stuck with Biotene and also used Bonjela. Be careful the white coating on the tongue is not thrush. I got it in my mouth and throat and it even came on my neck in the gullet. it was very painful. All the best. Kath
