Day 10 is in the book, i have 30 left to go,
I have had no side effects from the chemo as of today, as i stated in a previous post my mouth is now breaking out in blisters and open sores, i am down to eating small portions of soft food, scrambled eggs, rice, cottage cheese along those lines, i have also rediscovered Popsicles, man they are good, nice and cold freezes out the mouth and throat.
But, like everything since this came to life in June, its taste like the color grey should taste.
The nurses keep asking me if i am still eating, sometimes they look very surprised when i say i am, but i also can see why everyone uses a PEG tube, the concept of cutting back my swallowing by 90% really is tempting, but i see it as delaying my recovery if i can's take in a normal amount of food as long as i can.
Lord knows i have the fat to burn, and that's what is saving me now, fat = fuel, fuel = energy, energy = faster recovery, so i am told.
we will see, ask me around September 28, that will be a week after radiation ends, i should have a good general feeling on how i am doing at that point.
well i am going to go try and sleep, if not i am recording a movie for when i get up.
night all.
