Ari, that's what I thought. I don't have soreness in my mouth unless I eat or drink, so who knows what that is. I just got a PET date scheduled for the 15th, which will be just 9 1/2 weeks after the end of treatment.

I am seeing my H&N surgeon two days before that, so I will ask him if he thinks it's too early. Radiation oncologist thought I was good to go.
