Mouth Ulcers/Sore Mouth

 

Hi,

 

I finished my chemotherapy (paclitaxel) 4 weeks ago but I am still experiencing some of the side effects. Is this normal?  I am trying my best to be positive but I am sure I read somewhere that mouth ulcers/sore gums should go within 4 weeks but mine aren’t getting any better.  Also I have had to get medication for hemorraids which is new for me.  I don’t want to be ringing the GP everyday and maybe I just have to be patient and let my body recover but if anyone has experience of this recovery period I would be grateful to hear.

 

Thanks 

Hi GSR may be worth posting your query in the chemotherapy section too .
