Posting this as it may help someone going through this. My husband is going through 30 rounds of radiation for tongue cancer over a 6 week period. At around the 16th session the mouth, lips and throat pain/sores really started ramping up. Admittedly he wasn’t managing the pain well by upping or in some cases using the prescribed medications, but what he has found to be most helpful is a tablespoon of honey in warm water 3 times a day. He feels it’s actually “healing” the sores. He has 11 sessions left so hopefully this continues. Since he started doing this he hasn’t needed the oxy and is eating better. He even ate Mac n Cheese.
