Hope someone can help, I am 3 months out of Tx and still have a very sore tongue, sore raw throat and swollen mouth mucosa, which is making eating very difficult.

Any ideas on how long this will take to get better. I really want to get rid of the PEG now. I dont have thrush and am drinking 2 litres of water a day.

Regards
Lynn
