thank you Christine
he was still doing the salt and baking soda rinses 3x day but he has ceased with those as he is rinsing with aloe, orasooth and plain water.
wouldn't the sodium create more mouth dryness?
alas, we are just seeing signs of Spring so he has gone for a short walk. ..
we try to get out it bit.... winter here has been too long.
as for magic mouthwash.oh gosh.......... that was BIG NO in treatment ..one attempt and he said things he normally doesn't say. never went back to it.
he now also is refusing pain meds ..
he will take analgesics though.
thanks for the HUGS...
so much
it is a tough place.
I am now also getting very concerned about brachial plexopathy... he is having almost a burning/nerve ending sensation of his upper and lower arms.... no tingling in hands, or fingers. he is only 8 weeks out... so this has me worried that he is experiencing this.
is it from RAD to the neck. I am reading a lot about RIBP.......... very very discouraging.
or is it from cisplatin.?
((((((((((( thank you)))))))))))))))))))) for your help and support
