I had BOT fairly large; Radical neck dissection, with 2 nodes pos(encapsulated)BOt resected with TORS, followed by Radiation and chem (cisplatin). Now clear (7 months out), but it seems that the radiaion was done too soon after surgery and now I have a benign lesion that will not heal. Cannot eat much of anything but ensure plus. Anyone else had this non healing throat pain issue and if so what do you do about it? I have appoint with Oral/Maxillofacial soon and have to depend on liquid pain med; plant glycerin and viscous lidocaine for pain. I want this to get better.
