I'm afraid that I don't have anything to contribute about the radiation. I have to assume that my reaction is a genetic accident, because I was caregiver to an ex-wife who had much less radiation and much more severe reaction to it.
I'm frankly completely mystified. I have a ring of scar-tissue inside my throat from the experience, yet I did not ever feel anything beyond the mildest possible discomfort at any point; and even that did not feel like it was connected to the radiation (i.e., no burning sensation ever.)
