I completed radiation treatment three weeks ago. I am experiencing the mucous symptoms many have posted.

I am also afflicted with a sore tongue. The periphery of the tongue feels "raw" or "burned". There are no visible lesions, and while some have wondered if I am afflicted with thrush, I am not. Some have also suggested radiation "backscatter" from a metal crown, but I have none.

Has anyone else experienced this condition? Is it a side effect of the "burn" wink
