Thanks Diane!
like your husband, this is the only time we have seen my Dad cry. My mom ( after 42 yrs of marriage, said the same thing)
he also wanted to stop the treatment about 3/4 through.
He has the morphine patch and takes something every 4 hours for pain.
this is really a wonderful group of people, thanks for your help!
The patch didn't work for my hub- we ended up with Actiq pops; he could use as little or as much as he needed & it was the only thing that helped the mouth/throat pain. I don't know if it's because he sucked on the pop & it coated everything but that was the best. It's made for cancer patients yet they always give the patch.
The husband used the magic mouthwash. He thought it was just a simple , short lasting bandaid. Taste bad. There is a new product out called Mugard. It is a Rx rinse & works great. It is available through Bioscript only. Can't get it from the local pharmacy. Very pricy too. About 1,000 for 4 bottles but was very fortunate that the insurance paid for it. I think the manfacturer will even send you a sample bottle.
Another product we he used was Caphasol. It's a 2 part mix that you use as a rinse. We actually have an extra case if you are interested. Let me know & we would be happy to send it to you.
Good Luck, Brenda
