Are you sure they are clots and not ulcers?
Linda,
Are your sure these are clots and not mouth ulcers? Has Al been eating a lot of acid things lately - like fresh tomatoes? I iknow Earl is suffering with the ulceration on the roof of his mouth, but he also has one on the inside of each cheek. The Dr. said it could also be caused by the cumulative effects of the chemo. I have started to give him a Tums twice a day to keep the acid in his system down, and of course the extra calcium in it doesn't hurt. He said they are getting a little better - so I am not sure which one is really working - but it can't hurt. Hope Al gets to feeling better.
((((HUGS))))
Beth
