thought i'll let you know that i had an ulcer the week before christmas and it only just stopped hurting today!! Like most i went and got it checked out after two weeks and my ENT said it didnt look suspicious but when you can feel the pain you are still nervous. The pain eased litltle by litlle and today is the first day of being pain free!!
I know that alot of members panic when their ulcers dont heal so thought i would share my experience so that you know it can take a VERY LONG time for ulcers to heal after radiaton. Of course check with your doc but dont panic just yet!!
