Welcome to OCF and sorry you had to join our little club.
Did they give you any "magic mouthwash"? It is typically prescribe during RT to help with pain, blisters, etc. It is a compound liquid (a mixture of 3+ medications) and is typically a "swish & spit" (not to be swallowed). There was also topical medication they gave me for my skin/lips (cannot recall the name).
I�m in PA also � Allentown area. Where are you being treated?
