Harrie, I would say that i've had this ulcer for about 2 weeks now. Sometimes i think it's getting better, then i eat something, and it takes me about 20 minutes to get the throbbing under control.

I went to my dentist, and he took x-rays. He said there is nothing wrong with my tooth. Seems like the worst time is when i try to eat. I don't have much discomfort if i'm not doing anything with my mouth (smile).

Becky, thanks for all that. I have been eating yogurt every day. It's one of the things i can eat without discomfort. But not plain (blech). I guess i will have to try it. Also, I havent begun the Epirubicin yet. I about to have my 12th weekly taxol/herceptin treatment tomorrow. Then i'll be done with that. 2 weeks off, then i start the FEC. (yum!)
