I am no expert and only 8 1/2 weeks out of radiation. But for what it is worth, I heartily agree with all who said the recovery process is a laberynth. I am not yet back to eating, and have to literally retrain myself to swallow. But the saliva problem is a roller coaster. And that coupled with the back of the throat phlegm is going to drive me insane.

So I would not expect clear sailing for some time.

Above all, as stated earlier in one post, make sure you attend each meeting with the doctors. I am astounded at what I hear compared to the notes my wife and caregiver takes of the meetings. And she has been right all the time.
