Yup. One of the crappy side effects is mouth sores. This chemo crap effects all cells even the cells lining the mouth, the intestinal tract etc. Most people go through a cycle of treatment but where I am on a constant dose without any break, the cells don't have a chance to rebound and my blood counts don't recover to a safe level.

Puts me at a higher risk for infections. I was just at the dentist six months ago, and both times I got infected at the site where the Novocain needle went in.

But typically it's more like ulcers than infections, I guess. I'm supposed to rinse three times a day with baking soda and or salt water. I don't always follow through.

Sigh. Off to the Dr. tomorrow. Hydroxycarbamide
