Side Effects

Hi,

I am new to the forum & have a question for the community in regards to a side effect that was brought to my attention at the beginning by my oncologist.  I am about to start round 3 of chemotherapy on Monday 19th March . I have just noticed my teeth now have a grey hue to them. Has anyone else experienced this? 

Thanks

Denice

Re: Side Effects

Hi @DeniceC,

 

So sorry to hear about your teeth discolouration. Did your oncologist offer any sort of insight about it?

 

The best advice I can offer would be to definitely ask your dentist, and also get the list of the toxic agents used in your type of chemo and ask the dentist about those as well. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this sort of side effect whilst undergoing chemo?
