Gary, I always appreciate it when you step in and remind us of your experience. I get so impatient with things, and with repeats of the thrush, and I need to be reminded that the course of recovery is a long slow road sometimes. I can look back at a month ago and see I'm doing better, though.

Amy, when my mouth got dryer it seemd like the lumps and bumps I had on my inner cheeks and lips that formed during the rad got bigger and bumpier, but I think it's just they were more noticable without all the mucous in there. I also had a week or so about a month ago when a bunch of mucous seemed to come back and I think it was just seasonal allergies.
