Hello Everyone,
It's been 18 months since radiation ended.. I was vwry fortunate to have phys.therapy on face and neck -- really loved treatment but medicare ceased and I was no longer entitled.. My mouth still doesn't open as widely as is normal and I chew like a rabbit when injesting solid food. My normal diet consists of yogurt, pudding, soup, ice cream. Have no taste for mashed potatoes and spaghetti tastes bland.
Anybody else experience these symptoms?
Thanks for your care,
Sheila
etti tastes bland. I continue with facial exercises but notice minor swelling to the surgical side on few occasions. When will the dry mouth ever end?
