Sensitive mouth
I attribute my mouth sores to the Xeloda not to Tykerb. I had a pretty bad sore on the roof of my mouth which seemed to get worse on my second week on Xeloda, recovered on my week off, another area got bad on the second week of Xeloda again.
Just hope it does not get worse than this. I had a lot of troubles with mouth sores on A/C.
Enjoy graduation Flori!
