Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Monika--everyone will tell you: that's 5FU at work--I'm getting over my 3rd or 4th bout of it. Let oncologist know--they'll either give give Bert a week's break or some painkiller. I got a week off and it's going away--can be really really painful, even bleed. So see the doc, don't suffer!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Monika! I do vaguely seem to remember this symptom...I think I used cloraceptic and throat lozenges + percocet. That did the trick. > Has anyone experienced a sore throat while being on chemo?
