Hi EZJim,
No, It is not fun. Either my mouth is super dry or my tongue is burning with extra thick mucous. I have just had 3 days of radiation so far & I start chemo next week. The holidays seem bleak, but if I am cured from this nasty disease it is worth it! The cancer center here is super, I am happy with the decision I made.
Take care,
Love, Becky
