Still sore !

Being in constant pain can really drag you down. Have you asked your GP for strong painkillers? They should be sympathetic to easing pain whatever its source.

Best wishes,

Thank you dear friends, for your replies which I really do appreciate. I have asked my consultant if there is anything that he can recommend, but unfortunately there is nothing - no cure but time. It was all due to the radiation burning my mouth and my tongue took the brunt of it, despite the horrid mouth-piece I had to use during the treatment. If the pain is too much I resort to Co-codamols which seem to work, but I prefer not to take them if possible, warm saltwater mouth rinses also help to a point. Still I shall try to buck myself up and carry on regardless ! Once again, thanks for your kind comments and support. Love, Joycee xx

Good for you Joycee.  You are doing everything you can.  I am the most impatient patient in the world (I kept fretting in psychiatric hospital about being allowed off the ward, as I hated being locked up).  It's only natural to find it all a bit trying sometimes!

Love Cathy

Thank you Cathy. Feeling a bit better today as I have been religiously using a warm saltwater mouth rise - not too strong - and hopefully it's doing the trick. Guess that I'm also an impatient patient in wanting things to be right yesterday ! Love, Joycee xx

You're only human!  Having cancer doesn't change that.
