Just to let you know, I am now down to only two weeks of rad treatment left. What a difference a week makes! My neck is now the brighest shade of red I have ever seen. It is painful. I have some type of new prescription creme to use on it. I hope it works! The Rd DR now has me on fentyl [not sure of the spelling] patches for pain. The liquid pain med I was taking started to burn my throat every time I drank it.
I have lost 24 lbs so far, but everyone on my medical team says they are not concerned, due to the my current weight, the fact that I am still eating by mouth, all of my blood work looks good and I am so close to the end of treatment.
Who knows what the next two weeks hold, plus the weeks on the down side? I will keep posting as long as I can.
Thanks to you all for your support.
