Jerry;
I will ask about the Palifermin and let you know.
I am also on a study with Argon Labs. They are taking infra-red pictures of my mouth. They took pictures baseline and than 2 wks. into trt.
What they are looking for are hot spots in the mouth that can tell how severe the mucositis will be. They are hoping that they will be able to tell sooner than when the mucositis actually starts. I know it won't help me but hopefully it will help other pts. in the long run.
I told my Dr. today that they can poison us and burn us but can't come up with anything for the side effects. He thought that was funny.....I spoke with him also about the ice he said that it does help some. So I will let every one know what happens next week.
