Thanks Chelee,love your name by the way! I'm eight weeks finished chemo and thought the tongue thing would be cleared by now.The coating is more yellow and puts a pretty disgusting taste in your mouth.I had no pain when given the Nexium so did'nt feel it did much to help but it's just the past week it seems worse.Someone told me it may be an ulcer induced by the chemo which I first thought but will get them to check at the hospital Mon just in case it's anything more serious.thanks again for your help and will keep you posted
