Sounds like you had a rough ride through treatments. My mother had similar side effects. She actually had to be hospitalized several times. Now that you have finished your treatment you should began to slowly recover.

There were times when my mother couldn't swallow anything because of the swelling. When she could swallow it had to be something very thin.
I would add water to some soups because of the thickness. Even different shakes had to be made thinner.

On a brighter note you can now move forward and prayers for a clear scan.

Good luck
Heidi
