Taxol made me feel like I had the flu also. I lost a lot of weight ~ all my nursing baby weight and another 15 pounds happened on A/C with the mouth sores. I didn't know frozen drinks or popsicles could help until it was too late. I did get a prescription for this magic mouthwash but it only numbed my throat enough for a little while so I could eat quickly. Sugar hurt my throat worse so I stuck with mashed potatoes, rice and french onion soup. Yeast thrives in sugar so I didn't want to put any in there to give it energy!

Carla ~ Thanks for posting about the meds. I forgot what pain medication I took but it helped me sooooo very much and I wanted to tell her. I also tried to take it 6 hours before I knew the achiness would start. Mine was very consistent that I started hurting about 18 - 24 hours after treatment.

Brenda ~ hope you feel better! I wish we could help make this go away.

Hugs ~ Ruth
