Hi Margiel:
I am so glad you posted - I thought I was the rare one who still suffered, now more than earlier after my treatments, with problems, which the doctors all end up saying are associated with after radiation effects. I know my throat was damaged, but several years ago, I was able to swallow better than I can now. I also have the most putrid sweet foul taste 24/7 in my mouth whether I eat something or not. I know our tastes change, but this isn't like something sour tasting sweet, or something sweet tasting bitter; it's foul sweet whether I eat or not. The mucus goes from frothy to pudding, no matter if I drink water or not. I've been to numerous ENTs, gastro drs. to no avail - end up with the diagnosis of after-radiation effects. I'm still trying though - going to a specialist in Vanderbilt, Nashville, TN next month. There, not that I've had my "vent" I feel much better. Just wanted you to know you're not alone.
