Hello all! My husband is half-way done with his 6 week radiation treatment for Stage II BOT. He just developed mucositis, cancer center prescribed magic mouthwash and due to excessive pain; a fentenayl patch. Patch hasn't kicked in yet, I was told to augment with hydrocodone until late tomorrow. My question is regarding magic mouthwash; my husband says all it does is burns, he doesn't get the numbing element that was described. Has anyone else had this? Solutions? We're likely heading toward a feeding tube if this isn't solved soon. MuGard arrives Wednesday, but may be a little too late? He has an accelerated last two weeks of treatment; two sessions a day. I believe it's not going to get any better soon.

I'm thrilled to be among such brave and caring people.
