Cancer Support

My husband has esophageal cancer, diagnosed in March 2016. He has a feeding tube. He has had mouth sores for over a month. He has the miracle mud, which eases the pain, but isn't really healing. He got a chemo break a month ago, which really helped. He is on another break until Wed. but so far his side effects haven't slowed down. I have found a recipe for another mouth rinse to ease the pain:
1/2 tsp of Maalox or Milk of Magnesia (I'm using Maalox)
1/2 tsp children's cherry flavored Benedryl
1/2 tsp Chloraseptic cherry flavored sore throat spray

Mix them together and rinse and spit out. Try to keep it in your mouth for at lest 15 seconds. This makes enough for one rinse.

I made it last night and today and my husband is using it between the doses of miracle mud. I also made him a healing soothing rinse of manuka honey and freshly brewed green tea, or just manuka honey and filtered water. Or honey, L glutamine and water. L glutamine is supposed to help the cells heal. Also use baking soda rinses. The only one he swallows is the miracle mud. He still has mouth sores, but I'm hoping the rinses give him a few minutes of comfort. Our daughters told us about the honey, or I wouldn't have known.

I really hope by now that your throat is better
