Thank you @viking1
it's an uncommon side effect apparently. They were also doing radiation on my throat & that's caused radiation burns to my throat, which gives me the sensation that something is stuck in my throat. I've also had indigestion which has not helped matters. They've given me a gel to gargle then swallow to numb my throat, i have anti nausea pills & indigestion pills.
They have said that the next week or two are actually the worst as far as side effects from radiation, with skin damage/breaking down.
I have my parents and my daughter arriving next Wednesday, so i'm hoping the skin damage doesn't get too bad, so far my skin has coped very well though. I have darkening down my side & under arm, and skin damage on my chest above the flat tyre boob which i am treating with cortisone & sorboline.
Good luck with the rest of your treatment, i hope all goes well for you.
