Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 17 | Does anyone know of how or if LED light therapy can help with the mucotisis ?
I read one article that it does help. Not sure how valid this is, or if anyone has heard of this, or tried it?
Please let me know if you have.
I start my 6 weeks of treatment today.
Thankyou,
Angela

Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 1 | I heard of it somewhere along my travels, not sure where or how long ago, but I don't know much about it, other than from what I've just re-read, it is for chemo induced Mucocitis, not radiation or haven't seen with radiation treatment. Off hand, I haven't heard of anyone having it done, past or present. If you don't have much success here, ask your oncologists. You can also use the search function here. Good luck. There are other ways to help with mucocits and or reduce the severity. http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/complications/mucositis.php
