Throat Pain how long?

I had cancer in my tonsil (Squamos cell), I had the tumor and 1 lymph node removed. I subsequently had 30 radiation treatments and 3 rounds of chemo. The doctors told me most of the pain would be gone between 4 to 6 weeks after the final treatment. Im currently on week 8 after my final treatment and still experiencing pretty severe pain in my throat. Has anyone been through this treatment and have any experience on what to expect? i expected to be eating regular foods by now but im still on soft foods only due to the pain.

Thanks in advance.

Hi - my husband is 7 weeks out of treatment and still has a lot of throat and tongue pain.  He has a feeding tube and is on lots of pain meds.  The Dr. told him that was normal and to just give it time.  This is not very positive news but I guess it is the norm.  Good luck with your health.
