Hi Sherry,

Congrats to Ken on finishing the radiation treatment! My husband Ron finished his treatments one month ago today, so I know how it is. Ron started feeling a little better the second week, and has progressed. Like Ken, coughing up the mucus really bothers my husband too. I can tell he's getting better because we aren't having to buy so many tissue boxes anymore. For Ron the mornings are the worst, it seems he's in the most pain then (I think because he tends to sleep with his mouth open, and his throat is so raw in the morning). How are you doing?? I hope you both have a wonderful holiday, we have a lot to be thankful for this year!
