Wow I'm not sure where to start.. this looked like an interesting area.. I'm Julie from Minnesota... just finished my 35th radiation treatment today... one more Chemo on Wednesday then I'm done for 6 weeks, then I imagine retesting. I was diagnosed end of July with tumor in back left side of tongue.... I have one question.... how long after radiation is over does it take for mouth to heal from the Mucositis.... I want to talk again and drink water and work towards eating... I'm hoping to talk and be swallowing water by Thanksgiving (ironic I know) I just have a lot of mucas in mouth.. and it's sore and burning.. pain meds don't do much good... my cancer was stage 4.... really hurt is I had to wait almost 3 weeks to start therapy, I had an infection in my gums and ended up getting 8 teeth pulled on that side.... The mouth felt pretty good until about 3 weeks ago, I was even swallowing pills now I'm afraid to swallow water. Scheduled for speech therapist soon... ooo my daughter is one too... I'm going to have her come with me.... any info would be appreciated... I've so far been on 2 dead blog sites and no responses at all, starting to feel invisible.....
