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).

I have some at my bedside table and swab my dry mouth and teeth several times at night....don't have to go and get water.
