Hello,
I am on my 7th cycle of capecitabine and last week my left chin started to become numb. It has progressed to lower left chin, inside mouth gums. Due to see oncologist next Monday but wondered if anyone else on this drug has experienced similar feeling. It is as though the dentist has injected inside of mouth pre filling.
Thanks for any replies,
