Yes I have the exact same thing. I went through 35 radiation treatments. And 5 chemo treatments, both at the same time.
I’ve been done. With treatment for
15 months. But the side effects are still very active.

I had 35 radiation treatments and 5 chemo all at the same time. RDiation was 5 days a week. I’m 15 months out from treatment. But drinking water is the worst ! My saliva is a constant sour taste. I can only drink water that has a powdered flavor in it.
Food is still such a struggle. Sometimes it won’t go down when I swallow. My mouth and esophagus are too dry. I’m wondering by now is this permanent ?
