Okay...today was the first difficult day post rads. I am 12 days post rads and I can't believe the amount of pain I am in. My throat is so sore-it feels like it's on fire! It's so frustrating because the day started off great. I have even started to chew more by mouth and swallow liquids. I was so happy to not have to use the feeding tube 100% and now I feel like I've had a setback.
I've taken at least 3-4 doses of my pain meds today and I'm going to have to take much more just to sleep tonight. I see my oncologist in 2 days and I hope he's got some more potent stuff to get me through this.
When will I start to feel some relief? 3 weeks post rads??!!! When do you hit the "bottom of the barrel" before it gets better? Please tell me I'm there!!!
Somebody, please send me some encouragement and let me know what to expect!
