Throat and Mouth sores.

One side effect of 5FU is mouth sores, which I now have. Specifically a huge swollen uvula (the thing which hangs down at the back of the roof of your mouth). Last night I vomited twice and the acid coming up was extra searing and ripped this sore on my uvula, I think causing a little blood even. Hard to tell. It was painful and awful, frankly. Throwing up every few days isn't really doing wonders for my throat and mouth with these sores. So now I am on a mostly liquid diet because it is too painful to eat solids.

On the plus side, the bile is draining well today.
