Yes this is part of the side-effects of radiotherapy, I've 4 more days to go until my radiotherapy treatment is finished. I've had 6 weeks of radiotherapy for throat cancer, my neck is in some mess burns seeping burning beetroot red really painful can't wait till my treatment finishes as am finding it hard and painful to swallow even water, loads of mucus, very dry mouth, ulcers  in my mouth totally drained. Hang in there and take your pain killers and morphine to ease the pain. God bless All.

Hi there

My treatment was a year ago now and I'm feeling fine, but I do sympathise with you as it is awful when you are in the middle of it. I had mouth ulcers when I was having chemo and they are so painful. It will be over soon and the healing will start, I wish you all the best

Hi thanks for getting back to me much appreciated. I finish my treatment on Tuesday fingers crossed it's all worth it in the end. I am so tired with all the travelling up and down. After Tuesday I am looking forward to my recovery. How long did it take you to recover. Hope all is well. Kind Regards. 

I had 15 sessions of radiotherapy on my chest. It was the middle of 2019 so a while ago but I remember it got worse before it got better . I was very sore and had to go back to the hospital to have special dressings all around my chest, it was over my masectomy scar. Within a couple of weeks it had healed and now is a distant memory. Not a pleasant experience but if it prevents those cancer cells recurring then must be worth it. I was very fatigued after all my treatment, I also had chemo before radiotherapy . It took me a long while to get my energy levels back but now I feel fine. Wishing you speedy recovery it really is amazing how the body heals and don't hesitate to ask for help from the nurses, I had mine on speed dial for a while!
