my grandmother is in a lot of pain it seems after chemo and radiation she has 3 new sores down her throat that she knows about where not getin the answers of why ? what caused it? is the cancer coming back? her docter told her theat he forgot to put a mouth peice in her mouth at every chemo session , could that be a part of these new soars that are preventing her from eatin much, some times not being able to talk some days they got her on all the meds you can imagine, and it scares us feels like the docter just just gave the meds and gave up, if u could please help us answer what to do ? if the docter is not doing the right thing? what on nutritional foods is easier on her? will help ease the the pain?

Research on this site mouth sores and see what is recommended. I just recently saw something about ice in your mouth when you get the chemo.  You are in my prayers.
