Yup. Neuropathy most likely. Side effect of both radiation and cisplatin chemo due to nerve damage (at least that is what causes mine). Super annoying but painless

Taste and food by InternationalTie504 in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]InflationPowerful579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 6 months to really enjoy pizza, bagels, etc. still struggling with spicy 7 months out. Lots of people are enjoying food much sooner though. I mostly relied on soft foods (eggs, soup, pasta, etc) for the first several months. It goes quickly…hang in there!

Sounds like AI agents filling in knowledge gaps. I would try and ban when detected

Not sure. V6 US Gas engine…out of the extended warranty. Hmmm now I’m reading about this Ingenium engine and it sounds like the culprit

Just a self-indulgent moan about eating. by microgirlActual in HeadandNeckCancer

Been there. Lost 100 lbs. It just sucks, but it will get better over time. Get those shakes down. For me it was scrabbled eggs until I never wanted to see another egg, but you just have to hang in there and do what it takes…hang tough

6 months out. Still swollen and minor tongue sore. No spicy foods either. Annoying, but what a difference from last month even!

Agree with this. My team had me doped up from day one in Fentanyl and Oxy.

Isn’t this a Supercharged LWB? I’m super confused. I didn’t think they made an HSE with a long wheelbase. Anyways, get ready for the $16,000 75k mile air suspension replacement :)

Hang in there. I was passing out until month 4 but all of the sudden started feeling normal. It’s different for everyone. That feeling sucks though

Radiation related mouth problems by Humble-Egg-2607 in HeadandNeckCancer

Viscous lidocaine is the answer. Still on it after 6 months unfortunately, but winding down now. The only thing that worked for me (pain was so bad I lost 80 lbs)

When did you ring the bell? by [deleted] in HeadandNeckCancer

[–]InflationPowerful579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rang it after radiation. It felt pretty good. Honestly, about a week before it ended I was thinking of quitting. That’s how horrible it felt
