Appointment went ok, but mouth stint/appliance is very uncomfortable to use while laying down, and the mask forming was a bit creepy, but i dealt. I Will start my IMRT 30-35 treatments on wednesday june 2nd. So at least I get to get moved in before starting.
Does anyone know of any good meds, rinses, or vitamins to take that help reduce side effects from radiating the tongue and neck?
Or anyone know of any exercises they did while going through radiation to reduce stiffness and trismus?
