My 3 month shows the same as yours. They looked my throat over with the scope. No alarm on their part. It is just healing. 35 doses of radiation takes a long time to completely heal. I am eating solids now 4-5 months out and yet if I irritate that area , it starts to hurt, like pulling a scab off or something. It takes time to heal and as it does there will always be come uptake. So I am told.

Thank you for your response. I like your patient approach. I especially appreciate your input about diet. I had my throat dilated and now, like you, I am able to eat solid foods which makes me feel normal again. But I need to keep caution of inflammatory foods and spices that can irritate the tumor like you said a scab. Being mindful of this moving forward. Thank you.
