Turned the corner on the mucositis
Looks like I've turned the corner on this. Didn't NEED any drugs overnight to deal with the pain and I'm reducing the Oxycodone today without any problems. I'm still getting my outstanding prescriptions filled while I'm here at the Hospital Center today. I do NOT want to get caught short should it (or something else) come up again.

Chemotherapy has many side-effects, one is hair loss and also oral and throat ulcer, Mucositis. It is very painful, it becomes difficult to swallow food. There is no proper cure, but a oral mouthwash has introduced called Caphosol, which is beneficial for mucositis. It has calcium and phosphate which is beneficial for oral health.
