Thanks Pete

Now that you have mentioned it, I do recall reading somewhere that alcohol tends to burn the throat and mouth following radiotherapy treatments.

I think I will just stick to drinks that I am comfortable swallowing for a while yet like water and flavoured milkshakes, experimenting every now and again with different fruit juices and sodas etc.

Take care

Karen
