I’ve had a large painful ulcer on my tongue since my treatment last October
it starts to heal and then erupts again
does anyone have any remedies please ?
thank you
I dreaded looking at my mouth in the mirror during chemotherapy and Radiotherapy treatment, just a mess of ulcers, swilling Oramorph regularly helped, Difflam spray also helped, a difficult time for most patients, don't suffer in silence let your oncology team know about pain issues.

I was given gelclair. Maybe if you’re eating something’s triggering it. Tomatoes and cheese were my triggers. Get ent ti check on it when you’re next seen or contact for next appointment ti be brought forward
