This is a VERY slow journey to recovery. I am 6 weeks from last treatment and still primarily on eating soup. I have been able to manage some crockpot meals but again the progress is SLOW. This is difficult for someone without patience such as myself. The right side of throat where the radiation was focused on still sore and get red bumps in back of throat after eating hot or cold which they last about an hour. I know for a fact no matter what I will NEVER put myself through this hell. I miss food especially spicy and that for sure is a ways in the future. I plan on discussing all this with my oncologist in another 2 weeks. My team says I am making progress that things will get better but the slow progress is frustrating.
