I am 31 days out of radiation for tumor on the base of my tongue, and I still have a sore throat. I can swallow solid food, but it is not comfortable. There is one spot that is still very sore. Any idea how long this might continue? Am I being impatient? Could I be doing more harm than good by trying to eat regular food? My doctor says everything looks OK, but it doesn't feel OK. Info and reassurance both appreciated.
