Thrush is very sneaky and can come out of nowhere.  I once saw my ENT in the morning and about 3 hours later my mouth started to tingle.  By the time I was able to check it out, my mouth was covered with it.  My doc immediately called in the prescription for thrush meds and by nighttime I felt better.
  Please dont worry that you are having a recurrance.  We all automatically think the worst.  Im living proof that there are treatments that can work after having chemo/rediaiton.  Ive had cancer 2 more times after my first round was treated with those.  
  Best of luck with your mouth rinses.
