I will be starting dose 16 of 33 radiation treatments this week 57 gry to back of throat/65 gry to right side/ 56 gry to left side to be safe; using a TOMO machine. Already had 1 dose of cisplatin; will get 2nd dose this Wednesday. Had PEG tube placed this past Thursday; lost 13 lbs so far that's why I figured I needed the peg; tried to do it without it. Can still drink stuff by mouth but by the end of the day it was like poring concrete done my throat. My throat get's really dry during the night; only sleeping about 4 hours at a time; have sores on right side of tongue and some back of throat.
