How long after radiation were the side effects really bad? Spontaneous barfing? No one has said a word about that! Aquaphor and what did you say to spray in my throat? Also, why do you still have a tube if you can swallow? After the surgeries I can barely swallow pureed foods although I will choke down stuff when I'm angry. Some will come out of my nose, of course. O have a friend that has volunteered to drive me all the way there and back every day but I know this guy pretty well. A Godsend to be sure but he's much older and often falls asleep when we see each other.
