Introduction 2nd paragraph, first line, I would say "one of the" as opposed to "probably the most" debilitating complications. Last line You mention reduction in chemo but I had or at least I thought I had more problems with Mucositis as a result of rad than chemo.
Signs of Mucositis - no mention of lips or trismus?
Consequences of Mucositis - 4th, 5th and 6th paragraph, no mention of hydration issue?
Duration - why was just chemo mentioned and not radiation?
Preventive Steps - Why no mention of Fluoride Trays? I started mine 30 days pre Tx.
Just just quick observations.
