Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 25 | I am 4.5 years after hemiglossectectomy, chemo (Erniyux) and 6 weeks (32 sessions) of radiation. I was getting canker sores a couple times per year. Four weeks ago, I got a few, then clusters that were on inside of lips, cheek, tongue and even some in the back of my throat. Is it possible my body is going through a healing crisis? I am on the Bill Henderson protocol and take B12 along with zinc. No other problems or symptoms. Anyone else have this? Should I be concerned.

Whenever doing something like that you should first discuss it with your family doctor or ENT, someone who is very familiar with your medical history. Ive heard zinc can cause some mouth issues. I suggest checking with your doc and ask what they know about the reactions you are having if they could be related to your supplements. Please let us know what your doc says.
Best wishes!
