RLM,

I have to agree with Gary and Gail. This lack of responsiveness on the part of your doctors about your pain and thrush is simply unacceptable. I had some bouts with thrush when I was going through radiation and I know the pain was truly awful until I got hold of the right medication.

If your doctors haven't dealt with this, get in touch with people higher up the chain in your hospital -- department heads, the president of the hospital, whoever it takes to get some action. This can't wait until your next appointment.
