Please just skip if you do not want to read about this disgusting situation that is happening. I have mucositis.
Here is Mucositis Explanation via Wikipedia
It is absolutely disgusting. It is from the radiation and chemo combined with low/non existent counts. Apparently once they go back up the mucositis will resolve itself. But for now it is extremely painful. I can’t eat solid food. I have been on Boost supplement shakes and water. I can’t even swallow my pills anymore. It also looks absolutely disgusting. It is white, puss like and creates a white film within the mouth, sores and my mouth is swollen. It feels like my mouth is one open sore wound thing. It’s so gross. They did give me dilated for the pain which does help. Also, I have been eating ice chips which is helping ease the pain. Salt and soda rinse is helping it not get infected. I will not post pictures of this because it is just absolutely disgusting. So if you feel so inclined you can on your own google pictures of it. It’s so gross….
