Good morning Ambra - hey you have several positive things to be looking at. First off you're 1/3 through your rads, I am only 1/7 (wish I was where you are). Second, with my sore throat, is it an infection or not an infection my mouth has hurt since long before rads every began. I feel like I have week 3 symptoms from the beginning and I know they will get worse. Third, you apparently have to do only 30 treatments, mine is 35. I think I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.

I discussed manuka honey with my doctor also. He had never heard of it and he dismissed the idea also. He says go get a gallon jug of drinkable aloe vera liquid. It has had numerous medical trials and it's benefits are well documented as an anti inflammatory.

Sorry you're feeling rotten Ambra, but you do have some positives in your corner. It's not all bad.

take care, take another nap, that almost always makes things better.
