Has anyone tried Orajel mouth rinse for chemo-induced mucositis?

Hi I am currently taking a regimen of Keytruda, Avastin, and Taxol which has led me to develop severe mucositis. Has anyone used Orajel mouth rinse for sores? A fellow warrior I met at my infusion center swears by it. Let me know if you have used it and what results you got. So far I have tried: magic mouthwash wash, baking soda and warm water rinses, Kenalog, nystatin and dexamethasone swish and swallow, viscous lidocaine, and I’m waiting on a prescription for Carafate and water slurry. I am desperate but don’t want to stop my meds because they are working! Any information would be greatly appreciated.💙🙏🏽💙

What is watchful waiting like for rare ovarian cancer?

Hi ladies, I have a very rare ovarian cancer, a metastatic Brenner's tumor that has encompassed my right ureter, Diagnosed 9/25. Since Brenner's tumors are so rare, there isn't much information regarding treatments. It's treated as a low grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer - 6 carbo-taxol infusions, and typically debulking surgery in between (3/3). Unfortunately, for me surgery nor radiation is an option. I had the 6 infusions and am "done" but not NED now and likely will never be. I've seen 5 oncologist specialists (4 surgical) at Moffitt Cancer Hospital in addition to my local oncologist, and each one has given me the same answer, Watchful waiting...scans every 3 months and my cancer is stable. Has anyone else out there had a similar experience with your ovarian cancer?
