I have had 33 radiation treatments and 6 chemo. I had cancer in the base of my tongue and my neck. My last radiation was exactly 12 days ago. I have a feeding tube also. I walked in weighing 190 and now weigh 150. The saliva in my mouth is so thick and the flem that I have to cough up is non stop. I have no taste or it's absolutely disgusting. I just started to swallow ice chips and spoon fulls of water. I want to get back to work but can't because of this feeding tube and how weak I am. It is hard to keep a positive attitude all the time. Everybody always asking how are you ? At least your treatments are done! Nobody understands except if you been there.
