Yes, I have tons of burning! We were at a party yesterday ( hey, I couldn't even think of going to a party a month ago!, now I get tired, but I can manage a couple of hours!), and while I usually avoid anything with any type of acidity, I forgot that nestle iced tea had either lemon or ascorbic acid. My eyes nearly fell out, it burned so much. Anything tart or sour is really awful, and it reverberates in my ear and neck. I thought it was because I had open wounds, but the drs don't see it.

As for scan, my 3 months post-tx is Aug 8th. Radiation oncologist said that
everything looked so strikingly beautiful that he ordered PET for the "second half of July". I don't have a date yet, but he wrote the 15 th on the order form.
