 Joined:  May 2009 Posts: 1,412 |  All I have to say is here we go again.  This stupid throat swelling is getting on my nerves and I want to quit.  I want to finish treatment, but without the swelling.  I can deal with the pain because they can do something about it, but the swelling I was told there is nothing they can do except another break.  I do not want another break.  I will be seeing my RO again today, but I am afraid he is going to tell me I need another break.  I do not want that.  I want to continue.  I want this done and over with.  I am also tired of losing everything I put in my stomach due to my gag relfex caused by this stupis swelling.  I talked with my MO about it on Friday, but he could not look at it or get near me because he had a cold and was being very careful.    Angelia
