Hi Chirley,
My husband, Ron, has MDS (dx in Feb'09). During his first round of chemo (Vidaza), he developed mouth sores which we treated with over-the-counter mouth rinse "BIOTENE". This brand (BIOTENE) also has several other products such as toothpaste, mouth sprays & gum. The product contains Bacteria fighting enzymes.. which helps fight what's causing the sores. As preventative maintenance, my husband continues to use this product during chemo treatment... rinsing his mouth with it after meals.... He hasn't had any recurrance of mouth sores since the intial onset during this cycle #1 of chemo treatment.
Good luck,
Cindy
