Thanks Heidi, I tried using it in my throat. That is were it hurts so much because of the radiation. It eases the pain for a short time. Maybe it's helping heal. I hope so. I've got 20 more treatments left. Plus it's calories. How's your mom doing? I see from your signature that she is back in treatments.
