Swollen Gums: What helps this chemo side effect?

@dmosssadler, if I recall, you're getting AC + T [doxorubicin (Adriamycin), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), and a taxane drug (Taxol, Taxotere)]. Mouth sores and other oral issues are known side effects of AC+T.

I'm tagging @leeann66 @lynnj3 and @loribmt in case they have some suggestions for you.

@dmosssadler, was the swelling a prelude to mouth sores breaking out? Or are you still experiencing swelling only? Tenderness?

Yes, thus was after effect of chemo the mouth soreness & my tongue had another 3 - 4 painful red spots. Very tender couldn't eat..just had yogurt soup ice pops.

But after about a week mouth got better...

Next Wednesday will be Chemo #3.
