I only found one discussion about mouth sores here on connect.
I can hear the frustration in your words. I am sorry for that.

Let me make sure I understand the question. Is my assumption correct that you did not have chemo? Did you have head and neck radiation? Is it possible this is unrelated to treatments?

Thanks for your response. About my mouth sores: I had surgery on left breast in September, a small tumor and slight hyperplasic area removed with good margins and no nodes. Followed up in November with a 5 day radiation therapy, No chemo. In late December the mouth and gum sores surfaced. I’m still dealing with this now, 4 months later. I opted out of the AI therapy and don’t take any meds. I am perplexed.
