Hi Julie
I have a had a sore dry mouth since June, but i’d finished my rads months before but i never had to have chemo. So i hav’nt been sure what the cause is. (it drives me mad!!)
GP or dentist does’nt seem to no no what to do, but i’m thinking of asking for a referal as its a constant discomfort.
Someone else and me have answered your post on another thread you have posted on re the possibility of you having thrush and other suggestions, perhaps you want to look there, xxx
Hi jojo i sympathise with you entirely. I feel like a right winger but I’m so fed up with it cant enjoy eating or drinking anything apart from fruit thats so refreshing but as soon as its finished dry horrid taste comes back. Will have to talk to Onc. mine deff related to chemo tho cant think what might be causing yours and would deff ask for a referral hope you get on ok.
