Hello again,
I'm really hitting the cyber-airwaves this couple of days. Thanks for all bearing with me.
Simon is having trouble keeping anything down, because of gagging on mucous and what he feels is an obstruction. The "obstruction" is the thing making him gag. He says he feels something is damaged down his throat because of the radiation, but I have suggested to him that the radiation probably does this as a matter of course, and will be part of what needs to mend when he finishes treatment.
Have any of you had this experience? Linda
