Thanks to all who replied to my question on post rad swallowing trouble. To be more specific, my swallowing problems are due to large painful ulcers on my soft palate & throat which occured 2 to3 mos. after completion of rad. therapy. In reply to Dinah,yes my doctors (both ENT and Ocologist) are aware of the condition and assure me that it is not getting worse and that there is nothing more they can do. Am applying topical painkillers,practicing good oral hygiene,and waiting for time to heal these sores,as the doctors assure me that is the only cure.If anyone has any other suggestions on products and/or methods for oral hygiene other than Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash along with countless salt water and baking soda rinses,I welcome your suggestions.
Once again thanks to all. Wish I'd known about this site 6 mos. ago. I'm sure it would have made the entire process a little easier.
Bless you all,
Michael Strantz
