Terry, congratulations on finishing. As Gary said, we all react differently, but the paths are very similar. Here's my experience:
1. The sticky feeling improved for me, but I still have it to a small degree. Especially noticable in the morning.
2. My taste buds are not responding very well. I don't taste anything the way it used to be. Sweets are especially untasteful. Most things I taste not at all. I eat just because I know I should and my stomach starts talking to me. But there really is no big desire to eat.
3. My peg was removed 5 months after rad ended. My oncologist wanted to keep it in until I had at least a month of eating only solid food and my weight had stabilized. I lost 25% of my body weight during treatment and he was concerned about that. I also was given Procrit to rebuild my blood count, especially the white cells as they were very low. I was a prime candidate for a major infection, hence, Procrit to build the white cells.
4. My voice is still hoarse. It does get better and worse one day to the next, so I haven't given up on it yet, but it is always hoarse. The dry mouth seems to contribute to the hoarseness and that is something I think will always be with me, even though I had IMRT as well. I get some saliva, but the tonsil beds are always dry and cause the hoarseness, I think.
5. I had the flem issue for about 4 weeks. It has never totally gone away, but at least I only wake up once or twice a night now, not every 45 to 60 minutes. I also had bloody spit, but I think that was due to the tonsilectomy as much as anything else.
Hope this helps. It does get better as you go along. My rad and chemo doctors said 2 years til all of the changes that are going to occur will occur and what you are left with is as good as it will get. Will pray for an easy recovery for you.
