Hi John that's pretty average for rads. Christine is right enjoy your foods now, bulk up, and all the other stuff. They will take you in to make a mask don't freak, they actually bolt you to the table... Just giving you the heads up. If you're claustrophobic you might need anti anxiety meds. They may also offer you a feeding tube. Don't put off rads too long... Hopefully it will happen ASAP. Hugs and take care.
