Hi warriors,
Havent been around for a while.

Were to start steriotactic radiation on Sep 20.
But ,

she has a nasty pain kind of in the left side of her throat, she feels its higher up and though its a constant it hurts most when she swallows. Got scoped twice in the last week to check this but they say everything looks clean; no sores or bumps and is almost 2 months past last PET, which showed nothing there.

HAS Anyone experienced this and what else can we do/consider?
Needless to say how worried we are.

    Throat Pain
    I was also experiencing throat pain and my ENT scoped me and said he saw nothing that should be causing the pain from the cancer. He said my throat was dry and a bit irritated, most likely lingering 'gifts' from the radiation. He prescribed me a 'magic mouthwash' and that has been helping me.

    Glad to see you check in. Wish she felt better.
    I am sorry I can't give any help for the throat pain. Will be praying that the radiation goes well.
