Hi Radiance and welcome to the site, I have to say I hadn't any experience with Doxil. But do tell your team and they will give you a prescription for some cream. In the meantime avoid spicy foods, Happy New Year to you and yours

Thanks for your reply. I notified my care team and they said they've never had anyone experience this. They suggested poking a hole in a vitamin E capsule.

Bicarbonate of soda (like you'd use for baking) in water and used as a mouthwash helps with the sore mouth related side effects from Doxil/Caelyx. And avoid toothpastes containing SLS.
