.y wife is being treated with Cabozantinib for stage four clear cell renal cancer.

She's on 20mg daily and is coping very well. However she appears to have developed an ulcer on her tongue. 

I was just wandering if anyone in this group has suffered similarly and has any advice.

  • From what I have read it can be a side affect. But best to discuss you concerns with the medical team who prescribed it to make sure. In the meantime could use non alcholo mouthwash or salt washes and a soft bristle toothbrush to prevent hard brushing. Hope it settles quickly though, nothing worse than a sore mouth on top of other things.
