I managed a whole spoonful of ice cream. Still too cold in the mouth and throat. Today I've had a small glass of cold milk, with sips of tepid water in between. I'm now trying a very weak cordial (flavoured water) as i'm so fed up of plain water now.

Yup, 4 weeks today post rads. Still have 2 massive swollen bits on the inside of my cheeks and a huge sore above one of them.The back of my mouth is still inflamed but also itchy, which I guess is the new membrane growing back. My throat is easing though. Saturday I'm going to try some lukewarm soup and cheesey mash potato. I'm nervous but also excited. I've been able to eat some smooth fruit yoghurt. I had to leave them out of the fridge to warm up a little though, and try not to hit the sore by my cheek.

The mucus has drastically reduced. I hardly cough anything up now I just sound ike I've got a heavy cold, but my saliva gets foamy and I get a dry mouth at night where I'm drinking a lot water to get me through the night.

I can't wait when everything settles and I know what is my 'normal'
