Taxotere throat sores.....HELP!
Well I had the second Taxotere and I am still sick and feel like I'm getting worse. Oral lesions don't bother me what is is the soft palate and upper esophagus are so sore I can't swallow, not a thing. I had a strep swab done again but won't know the results until next week. The Family Doctor gave me some antibiotics and a medicated mouthrinse to help with the pain... doesn't thought. Did anyone else experience this? It is like my tissue is slowly burning from the inside out. Anywhere there is a weakness in the skin it comes out in a second degree burn type lesion. This is AFTER the premed wears off about day 4ish and continues to worsen.
Any ideas?
