After treatment issues
I posted several months back, and am worse now with the mouth ulcers than I was then. I finished rad on Jan 11, 2007 as well as chemo. No one told me at that time that the after effects of treatment is as bad in some ways as the cancer itself.

I am totally at my wits end and am looking for any help the members can give me in regard to this problem. I'm going to list everything I personally have done to try to help myself.
Taking lifovsinr 2% visc 4 x daily. Majic Mouthwash, over the counter colgate orabase, zilactin-B, hurricaine jel.

Went to 4 doctors yesterday - my dentist, my oral
surgeon, my ENT dr and my pain management doctor.
I was on a high time released form of oxicoidone which was not helping so he switched me to morphine sul 10 mg/5ml sol. I started on this today. Bottom line----------all doctors said they knew of NOTHING to get rid of the ulcers and
there was no guarantee oxygen therapy or acupuncture would work. I am scared to death because I had the PEG tube removed 2 months ago and the ulcers are so much worse. They are of course on the side of my mouth that was radiated. I am getting extremely depressed and
the quality of my life is going down hill. Please reply to my post with any information you
may have. I am afraid I may have to have the peg
tube reinserted.
