Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 32 Likes: 1 | So Im starting week 3, and as expected, the other shoe has dropped as far as symptoms. The sore throat is here and I developed mouth sores over the weekend. Im doing the baking soda rinses, have Magic Mouthwash (which is gross but works) and have a narcotic for if needed (not yet). I was just looking for any thoughts on things that really helped those who had mucositis, any pointers etc? What an unpleasant thing! Im still able to drink shakes at this point, so no PEG yet. Thanks in advance!
