I prayed for you and glad you’re doing so well. My mother is on one of these prayer lists - she has salivary duct carcinoma and is on week 3 now of radiation to her parotid gland. I hope you handle the radiation well if you’re getting it in your throat area. My mom’s voice is getting a bit raspy now, but they say a lot of the side effects will slowly go away after the radiation treatments are over. She will likely have dry mouth. Soft foods and things will be key, we believe, so FYI for you too!
I pray for your mom. I had surgery for oral cancer and was fortunate to not have to have radiation at this point. On the throat area can cause problems eating and talking. Some people get through it just fine.
Here is a forum that has cancer specific threads, cancer patients and survivors share their experiences with the treatments, etc.
