I too get that horrible feeling in my mouth. My first round of chemo I did develop thrush and they gave me antibiotics. Now what I do is take acidophilus. You can buy it over the counter at the drug store or health food store. It seems that chemo upsets your body's ph factor and since I don't eat yogurt it makes it worse. I havenow found that taking 1 tablet of acidophilus in the morning and one in the evening I don't have the problem with the mouth anymore.
