Hey Kenny
This may be a suggestion to avoid any further tissue damage. I know that I could not handle any temperature extremes at about the 3rd week and it was a while before I could, even Ice cream was a challenge for about 6 months post rads.
Now I used to go thru Tabasco like ketchup, no more, but my tolerance for spicy foods is coming back VERY slowly. My doctor warned me to not get to carried away with the spicy stuff.... yeah I miss it, but I just can't handle it.
I'm interested to see if anyone else has any insight on this affecting the actual radiation effectiveness.
