Cheryl,
I wish you the best, too. For me the after treatment time is the worst, although the 6th week was tough too. Everyone is different, and they tend to custom fit our treatments so that is one reason why I guess. Hope you can take one day, or sometimes one hour at a time, to me that is important. Hard to always accomplish.
I now understand the agony of mouth sores while struggling with neck radiation skin burn. This too shall pass.
