Hi just an update on my end. Two weeks into treatment things were going pretty well. Few side effects except less saliva. Of course last night thrush erupted and now I have a side effect that I was assured at the start my tongue/neck radiation would not appear - painful swallowing. It hurts so much to swollow that it reminds me of the weeks after partial glossectomy. I nearly broke down this morning. I had braced myself for ulcers, lack of taste, sensitivity, lack of saliva etc, but I never thought I would have difficulty swallowing. It’s driving me close to the edge emotionally. I’m so angry about it, anger usually being a sign of depression for me. Doc says it should get better in a couple of days after starting the antifungal mouthwash but nurse said a week. Starting pain meds today though not looking forward to being loopy and severely constipated.
