Hi Pam,
I had many many mouth sores early in my treatment course and know first hand just how miserable they can be. My oncologist had me try a prescription mouth rinse called Caphasol. It worked immediately - sores healed within 3-4 days. My health insurance covered it. I highly recommend. You'll see it if you Google it - urge your oncologist to let you give it a try. Good luck, I hope you find some respite.
