Jim, Nice to hear from you. I brush 3 to 4 times a day, use the baking soda and salt to rinse with and use mouth wash and today realized I am getting thrush again! I had a little of the Nystatin swish and swallow so I have started on that as the Dr.'s office are closed. Dang, if it's not one thing it's another. I may have to start using the oil of oregano to keep this at bay.

My ENT told me he took out all the tissue he could when he removed the tonsil back in June so I don't know what's keeping my pills from going down. I asked him about it and he said to just crush my meds (ones that can be crushed). I only have 2 more weeks of treatment to go. Yea Angel

SCC left tonsil, tonsillectomy with additional tissue removed 06/10/08, a few teeth on top left side removed 09/05/08,recurrence before treatment started at BOT and tonsil area, 35 IMRT treatments began 10/15/08, and Cisplatin IV (began10/16/08) weekly for duration of radiation.
