Tim,

As for your question, I actually never really got mouth sores. My mouth had rough areas where it was sensitive to touch, but no actual sores ever formed. That is probably why I just got by with the Roxicet. I have been able to actually eat by mouth since my treatment ended almost, but I am still using my PEG because everything still tastes REALLY bad. I try something everyday as a gauge, but nothing really tastes like food yet-more like metallic garlic or something else horrible.

Congrats on having another X on the calendar!
Sarah
