Hello, new here, some advice please.

Oramorph, MST (morphine slow release tablets) and Difflam mouth rinse help with pain....others have used more heavy duty pain meds.

Caphosol

helps with mucositis often caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy contains sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, which help neutralize acid and promote healing in the mucous membranes.

2-3 weeks into Chemoradio and things start to go south for many, loss of taste and appetite, a feeding tube is advisable, cream for head and neck tenderness should be sourced, Epimax was standard for most in my radiotherapy unit.

Thanks, Michael, greatly appreciated.

Forgot about the constipation associated with pain meds...Laxido or similar will be needed, and probably something for oral thrush, Nystan, I had 3 episodes of thrush....treatment and recovery can be tough...good luck

Hi Taff

swallow and jaw exercises  will aid recovery.  Ask the hospital to give you some. Laxido or movicol for constipation. My blog link below will show yih what I went through and yes after treatment finished it continues to work the first 2 weeks I didn’t a lot of time in bed. 
later food was fuel was my motto I got very out the pleasure in eating for a good year. Now I can eat most things diary from spicy my mouth can’t tolerate it. But I’m the odd ball in that respect 

best wishes
