Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | You still have a uvula? Mine was melted -gone (still)! Yes I had blisters and ulcers from radiation damage for some time post Tx (like Ed). Some of it due to thrush, radiation damage, irritation from some foods (although I can't prove that). I hacked up blood and dead tissue for a long time as I recall. Having low red and white blood cell counts delayed everything as well. I'm sure that vomiting a lot didn't help either.
The good news - it will pass.
Patience is the word - it takes to heal.
