Radiation side effects with H&N cancer. When will they ever end?

I finished up my treatment December 23, 2022 it’s been almost 7 months and I’m starting to recover. I’m able to eat and swallow sometimes a bit stuck in my throat but I learned to use gravy and have water close by what I mean in the first three months out of my treatment. I lived on boost and help me get through some tough times. I had some other symptoms, dry mouth and affect my speaking a little bit. I have about 75% of my taste buds back so hang in there it will get better.

I am happy to hear you are doing better as time goes on. We are left with od pockets in our mouth and throat that is beyond explanation to the doctors. We just learn to live with it.
In a year or so you should be doing better yet. It's good to be on the green side of the grass. i wish you well.

congratulations on getting those tastebuds back. I'm still working on those and my saliva still isn't very good. I still get things stuck at times. I guess it's just part of it all.
