Hi I’m recently diagnosed with stage 3 tonsil cancer with Mets to lymph node. I’ve had 2 of 6 Cispan treatments and 11 of 35 daily radiation treats. A couple days ago I started the lidocaine mouthwash/ rinse and am not having much luck with the mouth/throat pain. I’m not sure if it’s a technique thing like swishing and or gargling or kind of soaking when using the rinse or if there are more effective things, any ideas, suggestions or expectations of more things to come that’s the hardest part for me is knowing what to expect so I can prepare myself. So I’m not in a constant state of wondering what’s coming next? Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated thank you.
