I’m 9 months post proton radiation and chemo. I have issues with brain fog and fatigue. My tinnitus is worse than I thought it would be and there’s no real treatment. I also have issues with a lack of mucus, irregular bowls, and keeping my weight up. Most my sense of taste has come back but spice and alcohol burns my mouth. Getting treatment, appointments, and follow up care for side effects has been a real struggle. But I’ve had 2 negative PET scans and I’m hopeful to get back closer to normal. Tip: listen to your doctor and research everything. Chemo changes you….and saves you. Be strong!!!

I’m 17yrs out and alcohol and spice is still an issue for me so much that I don’t really do either now.
You can add anything that is acidic too like tomatoes but not to the extreme of the alcohol or spice.
