Doctor confirmed radiation burns on back of throat. Right now using Motrin - she prescribed magic mouthwash also minocycline for rash from Erbitux (known side effect) Other than those 2 issues still eating 3000 calories and drinking close to 100 oz of water. No weight loss yet. Have to be more careful in what I eat as throat will not get better. Again I appreciate the advice/encouragement and will follow it throughout the battle.
