Hello everyone. I started capox chemo today (4 cycles). Went on, but my mind, as per, is jumping about. I went to see the dentist about a month ago for a check up and told there was a small area of infection under an old filling, prob been there for years the dentist said. I wasn’t able to get this sorted before starting chemo and had a bad reaction to the week of radiotherapy, which put the dental thing out of my mind. I’m now in a bit of a panic thinking about all we are told about infections etc. I have left a message with the oncology team at the hospital (they have a brilliant team of colorectal nurse specialists). Just wondering if anyone here has expressed of anything similar? Many thanks. Moira
