Just done 2nd week Radiotherapy and 1st dose Cistplatin
Was extremely nauseous therefore been put on dexamethasone steroids hence having to delay me having a RIG for 2 weeks
Im still eating a normal ak diet
My nasal passages are now clear as before treatment completely obstructed
What should i expect end of week 3
Thank You XX
Hi. I think you will just get more and more sore so that eating will be more difficult. If you haven’t already you’ll probably get mucositis which looks like ulceration. Tell your radiographers hiw you are feeling. They will make sure you get adequate analgesia.
Try to be really careful with keeping your mouth clean.
I used Difflam mouthwash to help numb my throat before eating and Caphosol to help prevent the ulcers. Swilling your mouth with bicarbonate is quite effective too. Don’t despair about the RIG. I’m sure they will get it in in time.
