Welp. Day 12 or 35 radiation today.

Mike went from having a marble in his throat last week to having razor blades this morning. He's been using Motrin and Tylenol to manage pain with a Norco here and there. Today we picked up the liquid Norco. He's been using the magic mouthwash since last week. Tonight we used the pump to get nutrition in. His rapid weight drop has stabilized a bit with just 2 pounds gone this week.

Back for chemo on Monday. I think we are at the beginning of the tough road we've heard about. Deep sigh.
