      Can someone describe mouth sores as a side effect while on ipilimumab?  Are they like canker sores?

          I got thrush on ipi that is easy to get rid of just some mouthwash medicine that you swish around your mouth than swallow.

            Yes they are like canker sores, sometimes referred to as mouth ulcers, and can take some time to go away.
