I asked the oncology nurse who gives me the amifostine every morning if he could tell if it was thrush. She topok a good look and said she was pretty sure it wasn't. My WBC is quie good--just had it chekced Monday--despite the chemo so far--so I shouldn't be especially vulnerbale to thrush just yet. But I have a checkup with the rad. oncologist tommorrow so I'll ask him his opinion too.

Question about thrush--does eating yogurt help control it? I heard yogurt intake can help control yeast infections at the other end. I ahve been trying to have some plain yogurt (several tbsp) every day because I know it helps good bacteria in the stomach and I figured it can't hurt the mouth either.
