Hi Stef....So glad things are going good for you. I had those feelings in my throat after radiation for tonsil cancer. I used Biotene products, toothpaste, rinse, and oral spray, along with drinking loads of water. The Biotene really helped me. You can find it at most drug stores and Walmart. I've been cancer free for 15 years and still have those sensations at times. Always, always get them checked. You will get so comfortable with scoping that it will almost be funny. but it is definitely the way to go. Getting it once a month sounds like a great plan.
