Chris, it is awesome to finish tx but the few weeks following are no cake walk and frustrating as you think you should feel a heck of a lot better than you do. You are now topped out with radiation so the mucous, awful throat, and other such wonderful side effects are par for the course. It just takes time for the body to recover and tougher ( I think ) in your case since you do not have the PEG to pour down nutrients, etc. Every day though is a healing day - good luck!
