Hi everyone, I have a question. My husband Ron finished radiation treatments on his throat about a month and a half ago. His throat is still very sore and he's still not up to speed in the eating dept. This past weekend we flew up to Seattle to visit my in laws (we live in Southern California). While in Washington, Ron's throat became much more painful, and he had an even harder time eating. He had to take more pain meds during that trip, and he's been weaning himself off the pain meds. Can the cold weather effect his throat that much? I know the air in airplanes is dry, but the flight was only 2 hours. Has anyone else experienced this, or do you have any idea why this happened?

Thanks for your help,

Shelley
