I am slightly over 3 mos post radiation and chemo and doing very well considering. I have gained back 15 lbs and have had feeding tube removed. Work out 3 days a week and have increased stamina and strength. All in all very lucky.
However I am having a unique reaction to spicey food I have never had before and that is excessive sweating when eating Italian, Mexican or Chinese food. I could understand the burning in the mouth but this is after I have eaten, any thoughts? My tongue is still sensitive and on occasion throat seems a little sore, is that normal? Thanks in advance for the reponses.
