Dearest Leena,
Everyone has been right on target here, the worst part is 2-3 weeks after radiation. If you had chemo with radiation it may take a little longer to recover. It took 6-8 weeks before the spit gets better and 8-10 weeks before the sores went away for me. I hope that your recovery will continue and you'll be eating again in no time. I welcome you to the board and wish that you weren't going through this at all. It sounds cliche but I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy. It's very hard. Hang in there it does get better. So happy to hear about the smoothie.
How did it taste? I had problems with cold until just recently.
Ed I had a Dr. Pepper the other day over ice and let the carbonation go down a little and it tasted wonderful.
Talk to you soon.
