I have been thinking about you too...we all are. How is Liz feeling and is she eating well? Important. Trying to keep weight on during these treatments can be tough ( I am an example) so aside from the "correct" diet give her that which her mouth may water for.....me? macaroni and cheese my go to longed for food. We will wait to hear from you next week.

Liz has been keeping her weight on since she started taking the steroids to prevent/reduce brain swelling during the radiation treatments. She is eating 3+ times a day regularly.

She did develop a "metallic" taste in her mouth along with feeling dry mouth, but we got some "dry mouth" mouthwash and lozenges that helped both issues. Hoping these issues will go away now that radiation treatment is done (for now).
