Just wanting to share that I have completed my second week. The back of my arms are a little better, color wise, but still very sore from the daily shots of Ethyol in each arm. My mouth is starting to hurt and it is getting harder to swallow. I notice that if I eat very small bites I can swallow with hardly any pain. It is hard to change eating habits. I have been given "magic mouthwash" and a liquid Vicotin for pain. I tried the mouthwash and it is not too bad. {not something I want to do for a long time}
I once again want to thank all who contributed to my understanding of this "monster" that we all have been dealt. I plan to continue to work for as long as possible but at this point I do not have any date targeted.
THANKS and God bless all who are dealing with this thing!
