Yeah, thrush is a build up of yeast. For me I got a build up of white stuff on my gums that would come off if I rubbed my finger over it. I got it from using mouthwash compulsively. You can also get it from eating too much sugar and also from the antibiotics as well! That's my two cent explanation. I'm sure Wikipedia does a much better job!
Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****
