I, too, remember adriamycin well. However, I was one of the fortunate ones and can say that although the side effects were their, they were minimal. I didn't feel like eating - craved only certain things - and was tired but overall, it wasn't just too bad. I did avoid acidic foods because of the mouth issues too. I could feel my mouth was kind of sensitive when I ate certain foods so I didn't eat them. When I brushed my teeth I did it quickly, with minimal toothpaste and always made sure I rinsed my mouth with a salt water solution. Thankfully, I never did experience the mouth sores.

I pray that your mom doesn't have difficult side effects. She is blessed to have a wonderful daughter such as yourself.

Hugs to you and prayers surround you,

Mary Jo
