Follow up with oncologist

I wasn’t healed for months. Your oncologist seems to belong to the “You’ll be better two weeks after treatment” club. It’s a big club. 
I was still on morphine at 12 weeks. 
If you really have done damage then it’s just a setback. 
Good idea to go back on pain meds. Why suffer? I’m sure a few weeks will have you back on the path to recovery.

he also said patients usually heal from radiotherapy within 6 weeks.

I was coming along nicely after chemoradio, throat and mouth ulcers were quieting down, weaned off the oramorph and slow release morphine, getting back to sleeping well.

Then I had hernia repair surgery which was badly needed, intubation damaged my throat causing pain and swallowing issues, seemed like the problem would last forever but after a few weeks of discomfort the issue did respond to treatment ... short course of sleeping pills certainly helped get me through difficult nights.

Hi Can onky agree with what  Dani  I has to say to back on the pain killers it’s not a backward step it’s a sensible thing to do. I was in opitates until around week 13 . Remember its a marathon not sprint, I’ve been in the forum over 5 years and can’t recall anyine feeling anythjng like normal. It’s a conversation I have with my oncologist every time I see him ! 
Top top chocolate raisins and peanuts the chocolate is probably the worse I have come across. I personally have chocolate now with at least 70% cocoa anything less burns my mouth. 
you’ll get there just just takes time.
