Thanks david. My mouth sores hurt for 2 days and today, they are still there , but don't hurt! I have no idea what the future holds, (i hope not pain) but I will keep what you suggested in mind. I did gargle will glutamine, wondering it that helped. Who knows, but I consider myself beyond blessed, and holding on tight that everything stays status quo... Or gets better. 4 more treatments to go...(and post tx weeks)
And thanks for the tip about not vomiting. After what my throat felt like the last time i did, i figured i was gonna avoid that at all cost. My RO doesn't tell me anything, and that's not an exaggeration. But he is supposed to be one of the top RO's in the west, so, thankful he set up the plan. I get all my info and support through OCF! Again, beyond blessed. I could not have made it without everyone here, smile
