Going off to Rad #12 out of 30 today. I have developed a case of mucositis from the radiation scatter on my fillings. They have given me wax to cover the fillings at this point. I am rinsing every couple of hours with baking soda/water and have not tapped into any GI cocktail. I am watching what I eat, besides the banana that was irritating I am still able to drink my morning coffee and eat yogurt/grape nuts/canned mangos for breakfast. Getting ready to try out the steamed spinach and pot roast for lunch...shouldn't be any surprise here. I am drinking a lot of water and getting the mucositis in check. I am assuming at this point it won't all go away until after treatment is done, but if I can keep it at bay it will be tolerable.
