Hi All,
Just an update on my ongoing battle with thrush. I saw the doctor today (my 2nd, 6 week checkup)and the 400mg of Diflucan is not working. Evidently I have built up a resistance to it. I have ulcerations that just won't heal. They're putting me on a 5-6 times a day Nystatin swish and swallow to see if that will work.

They also ordered a chest xray. Other than the thrush, I'm healing very well and they have no other "areas of concern" at the moment. I will see 2 more doctors next week for their 6 week checkups (Head & Neck and Oncologist).
