Nick, I think a heck of a lot of us had a problem trying to get someone to see what was going on in our mouths. I got lucky and was scheduled for a scope of my esophagus and asked the Dr to check out my mouth and throat.. Great guy and he had an appt made for me before I woke up. Chemo 1 time a week and rads 5. I had Erbitux.
