Thanks for the replies y'all. I'm going for my final treatment in an hour and I'll ask the doc the same questions I posed to you. I'll move my posts to the post treatment thread afterwards and try to report regularly on my progress.
Going in to #30 my neck burn is distracting but not intolerable with the Aquaphor cream, usually worse by the end of the day. Interior of my mouth and tongue are a little sore and touching my tongue to the roof of my mouth feels like licking fine sandpaper. Throat is a little sore and real dry but I can swallow fine (mostly "Boost" protein drink and a cup of noodles once in a while for texture). Scrambled eggs go down pretty well also although I can't taste them. I have noticed in the last couple of days it is easier for me to accidently aspirate liquids when swallowing. Don't know why that is.
See you on the other side.
