13 weeks post radiation and throat pain continues

I’m on week one of my five week radiation and chemo treatment plan for head and neck tonsil cancer. The tonsil tumor was removed with surgery and I also had a left neck dissection. I’m just starting to feel symptoms and “sizzling” is a good way to describe it. I knew that after treatment was over there would be a long recovery so thanks for sharing your experiences so I have an idea on what to expect and to look for small improvements. Good luck in your recovery.

Well my throat shut down during week 2 and I was on a feeding peg for approximately 7 months post treatments.
I’m 6.5 years out and still have heavy phlegm in the morning and have a hard time getting food down.
I lived on oatmeal for about two years and now I’m eating normal foods but need a tremendous amount of liquid to get it down!
But I ALIVE!
Wishing you the best!
