Should I shave between radiotherapy treatments -I know it will have an effect on beard growth but in view of the potential soreness is it better to leave facila hair or shave it off ?

Are there any tips regarding types of tongue exercices during treatment to maintain function.

Is there any best practice to prevent Thrush of the mouth during treatment.

Hoping you folks cand advise

Cheers

Gary

Hi Gary,
can't advise you on the beard situation Wink
But as far as the thrush goes, i drink those Actimel pro-biotic drinks and i've found if i stop having them my thrush comes back with avengence!! Even now 10months post treatment.

Its worth a try.
All the best,
Michelle
