New medication and another milestone!

Mouth sores! That's what they promised, and that's what have shown up!

The pharmacist in the infusion room has promised me that what she has prescribed is a "Magic Mouthwash"!  We shall see!  I had been gargling with salt water, which seemed to be doing the trick, but today I have started to feel rough patches around my lips and gums which don't seem to be going away - like the beginning of a mouth ulcer - so, I thought I'd better try and nip it in the bud!


I'm not that keen on taking multiple medications to deal with the side effects of the primary medication, but I think it's better to give it a go now than to wait until it gets to an intolerable level!

Just 10 radiation treatments to go now!  That's a milestone, right??? Yay!!!
