    Marium,

    There's a long thread on Ixempra over on the Stage 4 forum. It is a tough drug. I didn't have mouth sores with Ixempra, but they're also a risk with other chemos so in the past I've used Biotene brand mouthwash and toothpaste, which are a little gentler than regular brands. Your mom's doctor can give her a mouth rinse, too, that has some painkiller in it that she can swish and spit out... Until you can reach them, you could get some cold sore stuff at the grocery store...

    Best to you and your mom,

    Paula
