Vera,

They should be able to give you pain meds to suppress the discomfort of the mucositis. I was on dilaudid (substitute for morphine because I turned out to be allergic) for about 3 weeks during the worst of it. Don't know how I would have survived otherwise! You need your energy for healing so you shouldn't be expending a lot of effort coping with pain.

Hope you have a comfortable night!

Ruth
