Hey Barry, sounds like we are in the same boat. As of 12/15/19, I'm 4 weeks out from 35 radiation treatments and 5 weekly Cisplatin treatments for BOT hpv16+. I'm starting to gain some energy, but sore throat, painful to swallow and lotsa mucous/spit. Today doc gave me Nystatin for thrush, hoping that helps as my mouth and throat are a mess. I've had a feeding tube most of the time, so I've maintained weight pretty well. Doc wants me to increase swallowing, using water and soft foods. Have any comments or suggestions?
