Time for a new update. My mom has completed all but 3 radiation sessions. She has alot of pain on her tongue from sores, she has also lost her taste. Any recommendations on what might help her pain. She was offered liquid vicodin, but she didn't want to take it. She has seen people get addicted to pain pills, so i think she a afraid. I told her that she does not have an addictive personality so she should use it to get some relief, but so far she has not. She also wanted to know if anyone knows about know about going in cloranated water during and after radiation.

Thanks
Sherri
