Treatment #27 today - I just started feeling the wrath of the radiation. But this is doable!! I was fatigued last night so I just spent the evening watching the tournament basketball games. The sores on the tongue where proclaiming their presence so I broke into my licodane and extinguished the pain. I didn't eat as much yesterday, but will make sure I make it up today. My tongue is swollen(this was overnight). Okay..enough whining and let you know my outlook. I am ready for anything this throws at me and will be done next Wednesday. I know it will get worse before it gets better, but I am ready. Overall, side effects are manageable and I haven't missed a day of work! I'm not working a full tax season schedule, but I understand this is why I haven't hit the wall to this point.
