Hi. I’m 2 weeks into radiation of tongue and neck and have mucositis. Meeting with pain doc tomm. Do pain meds really make eating easier? Or is it more just a sleep aid? Another question: has anybody tried medical marijuana? I imagine that anything inhaled would be discouraged for oral cancer though I guess there is edible marijuana. (I’ve never done pot, in case you can’t tell!). I’m one third of the way through the radiation and the mucositis erupted literally overnight. Trying to remind myself that this will pass but I’ve never been great with pain and am a little down about it, especially knowing it probably get worse. And I haven’t even experienced the changes in taste yet which is coming
