My husband had induction chemo with cisplatin, 5-FU and taxotore (sp?). We had no malfunctions but he got thrush within a week of the treatment the first time. Armed with anti-fungal meds, the second round was easier but no picnic. I don't think anyone who hasn't had dozens (or more) mouth sores, thrush and mucusitis can possibly understand what it's like to have them!
