I'm trying to think when my first scan was done after treatment. My last day of radiation was March 11 and my first CT scan was done on May 16th and they tell me that my next one is coming up in September.

The mouthwash was a mixture of Lidocaine I think. My insurance only covered so much of it for a month long period, but when I ran out, the radiation doctor figured out a way around this by re-writing the formula. It was a slightly different mix, but still effective. Then again I only probably needed it from the last three weeks of treatment to about a month after treatment ended. It wasn't something I swallowed but swished around in my mouth.
