Hi all. I am new here. I will be one week out of imrt tomorrow. It is still pretty miserable for me. My toungue is in schreads and my throut also. Do not have feeding tube and am stuggling with liquids. using eye dropper at the moment to get them down. Dr. didn't tell me it wiould be this painfull. Said I would start to feel better in 5-10 days after treament. Well this is day 6 and I feel worse that ever! Pain meds don't touch this mouth and throat pain so they are useless to me. I live on the lidacaine swish!!
But I'm pretty upbeat so far and do have alittle more energy today, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
This sight has been a God send for me. Thank you all for sharing.
