Yes beginning week 4 of treatments asked for and got pain meds.
Throat and mouth was raw , swallowing became difficult, thrush was
taking hold, Used oxycodone for the following 2 mos. as needed. That was a blessing as far as easing pain and restful sleep too.
And did swallowing exercises prior to and during treatments.

Yes, I started swallowing exercises a week ago. No interest in a feeding tube! (i Hope) I'm going to try to get pain meds early to allow me to keep up the exercises which I assume get harder by the week. Thanks for responding.
