Pandora, so great to hear from you again, but I am just so very sorry about what you have been dealing with. Please keep us updated!
Pandora- so sorry to hear about new brain mets and treatment scares. I hope things quiet down before your next infusion. One thing that has really helped my mouth/nose/throat sores is L-Lysine, 1000 mg 3x per day. My oncologist suggested this as well as the mouthwash. Works wonders.
This treatment can be tough. Monday will be my 13th but I just met someone who is on their 27th! Stay strong 💪
