Hi everyone.
I have just completed my first week of daily radiotherapy. My main issue has been the burning sensation in my upper pallet and at the back of my throat. I'm also waking up drooling with a mouth full of thickish saliva/ mucus. I'm feeling generally tired but once up and about I can get going. Eating has become a real chore though.
Upwards and onwards I guess.
