It's been 9 days from the end of my RAD. I'm feeling pretty good and my throat felt as if it was healing enough to start eating more. Then a couple of days ago the rash from the Erbitux returned and my throat and mouth worsened. My last chemo was 11/19, 3 days before the end of RAD. Is this just what I can expect in the 3 weeks after treatment? I know it's early but it doesn't seem like my mouth, tongue and throat are healing much. I'm sure I'm just being impatient. It's been an experience. I appreciate all the helpful input. OFC has made this whole journey that much easier to deal with, Thank you all.
