Hi everyone today is exactly 7 days from my first quimio section I can’t even open my mouth to eat! So painful! I can feel the sides, or anything inside there! Can I get on the chemist anything for it?
Thanks
Luiza

Hi Luiza
Sorry to hear you are suffering. I had my first chemo on 28th November and am just starting to have a bit of a sore mouth. My district nurse has recomended something called ‘nystatin’ or ‘glandisane’ which you can get from your GP I think. I hope you get it sorted.
This is all a really nasty business isn’t it? I feel like I’m just sitting her waiting for the next side effect to happen.
Have you joined the December monthly thread? I am finding these very useful and there is lots of support there.

Hi Biglu, I used www.gelclair.co.uk who sent me freebies of the Gel, Your GP can also prescribe this. Great for sore mouth after Chemo. Also eat/suck on fresh Pineapple. It helps with the mouth ulcers.
Im from the January Jems of January 2013.
Try oral b toothpaste and gel Clair sachets from doc. X
