Tracy,
I haven't experienced any gum irritation/pain as a side effect of cyclophosphamide, but I had heard that it could be a side effect when I was on cyclophosphamide in the past. To be on the safe side, I use Biotene toothpaste and mouth spray when using this drug.

Re: Experience with CyborD treatment regimen?
My husband is rinsing with Biotene mouthwash twice daily as well. Trying to be proactive. I had breast cancer chemo 11 years ago and used it. I never had a mouth sore.

Re: Experience with CyborD treatment regimen?
For all those who have done CyBorD, what are the common side effects around the one hour mark after injection with Velcade? What about the 12 hour mark?

Re: Experience with CyborD treatment regimen?
My wife had a localized reaction (redness) briefly, after 1-2 of the infusions. There was also a bit of nausea a couple of times early on, but that's it. She generally tolerated it very well.
