@jfh1970 glad you got to end the proton therapy early, how long was it. "We have the Beam. Do not Swallow" lol. I will remember that.

@rllampton Kinda like saying don't think about marshmallows! When they say don't swallow its all I could think about! We worked out a plan.

@rllampton I think I ended at ~28 sessions. Would have to check. It was a huge relief though, because at that point I was pretty miserable (zero taste - such an awful side effect, gagging on phlegm around the clock, some pain but controlled well with Tylenol and gabapentin.)

FYI - I made some customized coffee cups for the radiooncology crew and future patients. Gave them out at my bell ringing. They might have some left if you want one! 🤪
