Christine,
I am 8 months out of treatment and I just got thrush! You are right it can be painful. I had thrush while in treatment also. Currently, I am taking diflucon 100 mg once a day. Seems to be helping. I still have it though, but not as bad. I still have 5 more pills left to take. Are we prone to thrush mouth? Is that because the mouth is dry? I was just wondering because when I got thrush this last time I was very scared that something else was going on. Take care.
