Vin - The mouth pain continued for several months after the end of treatment. Like Nelie, I don't know about normal, but I have heard from many others that those pains are common.

Every cough and ache is cancer for a while, then the dread starts to recede and its possible to just have a cold, or sore throat again - the regular kind. The healing takes a very long time. Mine seems to continue - two years after treatment stopped. Be strong. Tom
