Just looking for a bit of hope that the mouth sores and rash don’t come back.
I'm a retired hospital pharmacist. I recall making this quite often. There are many different combinations of it around the country(USA) and world but it did supply relief to many of our patients.
Ask about the prescription mouthwash "Magic Mouthwash". I was able to avoid the mouth sores, but many of the other members here have had good luck with it!
(for me Taxotere, Carboplatin, and Herceptin 6 rounds)
I had a total of 8 chemos. 4 were of Taxoter and 4 were of cytoxan and red devil combined. You got this💪I used Biotene everyday rinse for my mouth up to 5 times a day. Kept my mouth free of sores. I'm a 13 year survivor of Stage 2 triple Negative. After #6 chemo, my oncologist cut dose of Taxoter by 10%. Due to severe dry eyes. That helped me thru #7 and 8. I did acupuncture for 5 months and it was my life savor very little side affects thru chemo radiation. I'm now a true believer in it. Hang in there. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel💕💪
