[quote=davidcpa]Stay on top of the thrush. It will NOT go away on it's own. Some OC patients develop chronic thrush, i.e. constantly occurring and can only be treated by constant meds. [/quote]
It seems to be worsening every day. Doctor had advised Fluconazole tablet and Candida mouth paint. Looking at its rapid progress to the cheeks as well, it was only on tongue before, I am rather very scared of when this is going to go away !
Betadine mouthwash does not seem to help atleast within the last 2 days. Probably my immune system is too compromised with the Cisplatin chemotherapy.
The things are looking much scarier than when living with cancer. Not sure if the surgery was enough for me, why the docs had to treat me with aggressive chemo and rad when there was no nodal metastasis.
