Thank you to everyone for posting this information. I am 16 days out of treatment and have been feeling very guilty for sleeping so much.

I have another recovery question. My tongue is still extremely sore/sensitive. Even though I can swallow fine, the texture of even soft foods just hurt my tongue too much. I'm still on a liquid diet. I'm hoping my tongue starts to heal soon, but is it okay to still be on a liquid diet so long after treatments.
