Four months after extreme radiation (plus chemo and erbitux), my father still cannot swallow. There is a large lump in his throat that is still very raw and very painful. It is still difficult, if not, impossible to eat (not to mention the lack of saliva). The doctors say this will go away, but when?? They also say he is now Head and Neck Cancer-free (though, he still has the non-hodgekins Lymphoma which will never go away).
Does anyone know about the post-radiation healing process? Has anyone heard of having this pain four months later??
