Your throat will be an absolute war zone during and after throat cancer radiation treatments. This method of numbing your throat will help you significantly. After a little practice you can get some calories down your throat and also to help keep those delicate muscles working throughout your treatment (which will help your long-term quality of life).

    hi Jason,
    thank you for all these helpful hints. I’m in finished my second week of chemo and radiation therapy. I have carcinoma of the left tonsil and gland, t-16- positive, level 1. ENT removed the tonsil along taking several biopsies and here I am.
    My throat is sore but doable with salt water gargles and biogene rinses.
    Thank you and stay strong!!!
