maz334, generally, yes, there are lots of after affects after radiation treatment (I assume that is what you meant re: r/t). If you use the search engine in this forum, you can get a mountain of info regarding different effects of rad. Some of them are dry mouth, burns (internal and external), tongue sores, teeth and gum problems, mucous, food sensitivity, inability to eat orally, etc. For me, rad was the worst of all of the treatments. Almost a year later and I am still noticing improvement in my state of being from the rad treatments. My taste is starting to come back, at least I think and hope so as I think I tasted a Dr. Pepper the other day. Still can't eat sweets, due to taste and condition of teeth. I have lost some of my hearing, at the high end of the scale, but that is due to chemo, from what I have been told and is permanent. It also causes a constant buzz that I usually ignore. Oh, lots of stuff. But, its a lot better than the alternative, so I embrace my "new normal" after treatment because it is better than nothing.
