My mouth got/is so bad that I went to the PEG feeding tube and stopped trying to eat anything, because it hurt and I gagged on it. It may not be what you want....but...you need good nutrition to help fight and now I can. I'm doing 2500 cal's a day and feel really good. Except for my tongue and mouth and oh yeah the Erbetux make me look like I just escaped a hanging....but its all good...and better than the alternatives.
Best wishs,
Gary
