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.
