Joined: Nov 2019 Posts: 4 | My husband finished radiation/chemo 7 weeks ago and he’s still suffering from the side effects. His tongue hurts, has terrible mucous, and is still just drinking 3 shakes a day. Is it normal for this to be going on for such a long time? How long did it take you to heal? He just wants to feel better and get off the pain meds. He feels like he is going to feel like this forever!
