The pain and mucositis is normal. It will hurt like H. The mucositis affects us all differently. I had morphine + oxycontin + plus 2 fentynol patches when it was at its worse. Please let your ONC know. The alleviation of pain from treatment is difficult at best, but they can give you a lot more to help resuce the discomfort. Hang in there, you are half way through.
