Chris,

hang in there. My husband is just coming out of the 2-3 week post radiation and it was a very rough road. I think it was the hardest part of the treatment...but it will get better. As soon as the radiation starts to wear off you will start healing. He took a lot of morphine to get through it. He is now not on any pain meds and his mouth is finally healing. Take whatever pain meds you need and keep hydrated. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sending lots of prayers and hugs.
