Hello family, I'm trying to figure out where I stand as far as what to expect post treatment. I've done 35 treatments and have 1 left. I have been WAY ahead of the curve throughout the 1st 90% of TX as far as side effects go. No neck burning until week 5 and no mouth sores, or trouble swallowing until I was 5-6 treatments away from the finish line. Can anyone give me an idea of where this went in your own experience. As far as...did it really get worse during the 1 st week post TX. Were the first 3 weeks post TX similar to the last week of TX. Where was your high point of low point as far as timeline? Much thanx in advance. MaineWill
