I did have some minor bleeding and some white "spots" on my gums on my 7th day of radiation. I will never forget that day as it sent me into a tailspin with the white stuff, I thought for sure it was the cancer coming back. I RAN to my radiation center to find it was the beginnings of mucocitis and that my gums were going to have a rough go with the radiation treatment. Good luck with the rest of treatment and holler to us if you need us.
