My husband is just over one year out from his last radiation for pharyngeal cancer. His last petscan showed the cancer gone. But the above writer is right, the radiation caused multiple difficulties that my husband is still dealing with. He is likely depressed also. He has trouble swallowing food and must drink a lot while eating. His feeding tube that was put in before treatment saved his life but he still has it, He uses Kate Farm nutritional drink once or twice a day as well as drinking Kate Farm coffee and chocolate flavored drinks. We are taking an eight week trip to visit our daughter and are having these supplements sent to her house. We truly do not know when he will be able to do without the tube. You may be looking at a long recovery. ❤️‍🩹 but keep trying everything you can to make it through.

Thank you very much for responding. Your reply is very informative and helpful. I didn’t have a feeding tube which is why I’m puzzled about the severe pain on the roof of my mouth now almost 5 weeks post treatment
