My sister was doing okay up until yesterday. She has mucositis, a really sore raw spot on the ride side of roof of her mouth. It's about the size of a quarter and the Dr said there is not much they can do and it will only get worse. They gave her mouthwash that was suppose to numb it but it doesn't work. She can't eat anymore and has to use the feeding tube earlier than she thought. She really thought that she wouldn't need the feeding tube until much later if at all . She was doing so well and now the symptoms are starting to happen. She is also loosing her hair.....her second chemo is suppose to be on September 3rd.
