Hi Hope,

First, let me thank you for your reply to my post! We are going to rescan in 2 months to see if the N/H is helping or not then will go on to the xeloda.
When I was doing taxol and again with taxotere I had a minor problem with mouth sores. I brushed with Arm and Hammer Baking soda tooth paste for sensitive teeth, then gargled with baking soda and warm water. I also read someone post that if you would nibble on crushed ice during your infusion it would lessen the possibility of the mouth sores. I did that too and coincidental, or not, I didn't have a problem with the mouth sores anymore. I also ate alot of yogurt (another suggestion from a post.) I hope the side effects get better for you and that the treatment is successful!

Linda
