Hello all! Just wanted to give an update and try and get some feedback. We are on rad #14 on Tues. 16 more to go!! My sister has become alittle depressed which she talked to the social worker about in private. I am not to sure what that outcome was. She has about 2 sores on the inside of her lower lip. About 3 sores on her tongue. The mucus is getting alittle thicker then normal when she eats certain things.
Today she woke up with her voice very raspy which got her nervous( she thinks the radiation is directed on her voice box now and not where it is suppose to be). She is worried that she will not have a voice now throughout the rest of her treatment. So needless to say today was a difficult day with her emotions. She was saying how she wants to quit the treatment and things like that. I didn't argue with her I just let her go and rest and hope tomorrow is a better day.
She has been good with keeping up with the things she should be like rinses, floride trays, creams, eating and walking. The dr's gave her a mouth rinse with alcohol in it that really bothered her so she is now doing the baking soda and water and rotating with the biotin.
I was wondering if anyone else lost their voice and what they did to help it. Also how long did it last?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer. You have all been a true blessing for me and have helped me through so much. I do not know how strong I could have been without your support. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.
