Day 20 of radiation on tap.
On a brighter note my mouth soreness isn't as bad as it was so maybe the mouth
rinsing (salt and baking soda water; Biotene too) is working . Got a script called in for magic mouthwash yesterday so see what that does today . Chewing isn't as painful either as my jaw was achy for a spell. Can still eat lightly toasted homemade sourdough bread and butter/jam .The dog is getting some of the crust that he enjoys.
The the tumor is hardly visible anymore so thinking about going ahead with a blood draw next Tuesday for the
circulating tumor DNA test which will determine a pos, neg. or how much remains in circulation if any.
Will continue with chemoradiation treatments into next week, maybe finish the week. Too many decisions but the end of treatments in sight at least.
It does take twice as long to eat anymore, Chew, chew and more chew to make sure it isn't chunky going down.
Sorry, I'm like the Energizer bunny on that anti nausea dexamethasone med, a steroid.
