While it is paramount that you keep your mouth ultra clean from now until forever, Candida will stop coming back once your immune system is up to speed and the last effects of radiation have left you. Since you are only 42 days out of treatment, Candida may plague you a few more times before your body gets on its feet again completely. Keep the Diflucan handy. The normal flora in your body will keep it in balance.
