My oncologist told me I am making good progress but the tongue area will heal in time. It might help to be a patient person but I am not. I just hope everyday I feel somewhat better. I am have worked hard to adjust my attitude but that is a struggle with this hell. My tongue feels swollen but does not look that way. My oncologist is keeping me on oxycodone to use when the pain gets too difficult. However, I only use the minimum dose because next to hating not eating I hate medications. I am trying different ways to get 2,000 calories a day and increase my protein. I know that without nutrition I will not heal. Today is a down day maybe due to being tired since I just started back to work full time yesterday. Through all of this I have been working half days to maintain the little sanity I have left. This support group has helped me realize others have gone through this same hell and survived. I guess the slow journey to healing is the pathway but is it damm slow.
