Tami. I am still having trouble eating three (almost 4) motnhs post-rad because of mouth pain and a terrifically sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Now also I seem to be ahving the worst drymouth yet and that doesn't help either. For me right now the hardest thing is continuing to TRY to eat when it is so hard, I let days go by where I just do the tube and don't want to bother ebcause I've been discouraged so many times.
