Thanks David, The hardest part I think is in the morning! Waiting and swallowing enough to basically get my throat woken up so I can take my meds and start drinking/eat Ying! It is so hard in the morning to get that first drink down and wow does it hurt like hell! Yea I would pretty much say I am in that tunnel! I am 100% focused on this only now! Just getting thru each day and making it as easy as possible. I am not really talking to anybody unless it is via text and like I said before eating and drinking as much as possible with rest. 1 day at a time is all you can do! Yea Ive lost about a good 2-3 inches of hairline accross the back of my head from the radiation exiting, even though I cut my own hair with a "0" you can still see it but its hardly noticeable! You can notice my red neck a lot more! I have been putting hydrocortizone and aquaphor on my neck and around my chin and lips. So far it is just red and not dry, cracked or that sensitive. I have been washing my face, hair and neck with aveeno baby wash....guess that is about as gentle as it gets! After today 9 left! Just keep counting them down!
