Hello,

This site is great and has really helped answer a lot of questions I had. I am 7-1/2 months out of Radiation and Chemo with radical neck dissection prior to treatment. I have no signs of the cancer thanks to God and great Dr.'s care. It has been tough and I thouight my tongue was so hammered that I might not eat normal again. Also developed throat strictures from radiation and had four procedures to re-open my throat. Amazingly I can now eat almost normally without pain and am sensitive to food with hot peppers, but can eat Texas BBQ!
Can anyone tell me if teeth are more subject to stains, as mine have darkened unusually the past week?
Also wonder if I can ever have a beer again without worrying about a recurrence. One of my Dr.'s says anything that bubbles could be a problem. Anyway, I am so happy just to be able to ask these questions.
