Just remember , this all could be worse, mouth sores and all.I'm past 2 years since the rad seed implants and my mouth has never quit hurting at all. In fact I have to force food because of mouth , neck and throat pain right now. I am forcing maybe too much food, but just incase it is something else, I want some weight that I can afford to lose. But I go on smiling and say I feel great for my family and friends.
