I am 6 weeks post treatment : chemo and radiation. I have since stopped losing weight. I am maintaining weight, not gaining yet. Eating is still an issue due to blisters forming in mouth every time I eat food. They go away about an hour after eating. Taste is starting to come back. Still use magic mouthwash as needed with blister flare-up.
Has any one experienced these blisters that come and go?

Welcome @sharkman, you might find some helpful tips with blister flare-ups in this related discussion:

Are certain types of food better than others?

I have not, but I keep having reoccurring mucus, sore throat and earache. I’m 9 weeks out of radiation and chemo. You can try Healios. It’s expensive but helps with soreness.
