Hi bb,

I just answered you on the other post and said to go here. Then I see you did. Welcome!!

I know you are now starting to feel the effects of Radiation. Do you have a PEG TUBE? The peg is to help you get nourishment when things get hard to eat. Just remember to swallow and drink something all the time. This will help with keeping the esophagus open and the swallowing muscles in shape.
You will make it but there will be a few hard days.

I used the soda & salt 3 x a day. I also used a product called Gelclair in the morning before radiation.

There is lots to learn here and you will find lots of help too. So Welcome!

Take care
Diane
