I am 2 weeks ahead of you, having now had 17 radiotherapy visits for laryngeal cancer. I got through the first 2 weeks with no pain or impacts. BUT over the weekend after the pain in my throat rapidly worsened, and for the last week swallowing has been very painful. I am now on 3 pain management routines, a skin patch that lasts for 72 hours, soluable panadol 3-4 times a day and liquid morphine, which so far I have only taken at night. Night time is the worst, my throat dries out and when I wake swallowing is incredibly painful. Then some water moistens it a little, but I have been missing out on lots of sleep. I even tried a steamer in the room to see of that would help, but it doesnt. I have a week of treatments to go and figure it will continue to get worse. I think I will start taking the morphine more often, although it does make me feel a little weird. I am still eating ok, I like my eating! I just choose foods I love, like ice cream (which is very soothing)but dont normally eat too much. My skin has held up well, I put sorbolene on 3-4 times a day. I would be interested to hear from others on how they managed the effects of RT on the neck. How is it going for you now? ... View more
