Laurie, during the latter stages of my chemo and rad, I had terrible breath and did everything I could to get rid of it, which was not much since my mouth was full of sores, but I managed to hide it. That was SO stupid, because I later learned that was a sign that I had a whopping infection in my mouth, and immediately after finishing treatment, I ended up in isolation in what everyone seemed to think was very serious condition. I was so weak I didn't care one way or the other. SO... rule out infection first.
