Just completed week three of radiation and I am still able to eat most foods. Thanks to all of you and this site, I have taken all of the advice and it has helped get me through this. I'm using all of the Biotene stuff, putting hard round cotton things between the sides of my mouth and tongue (I was getting radiation burns from the side scatter off of my gold crowns), bought a humidifier, etc. I anticipate next week things will be very different as I have my second (and last) cisplatin chemo treatment. I have 20 more radiation treatments to go. Last week I also had an infection on my neck that required a weeks worth of Diflucan and Amoxicillin - but it seems under control now.
