hey everyone,

my mom is complaining about the same -- changed taste! she is always hungry, but it's just that her mouth sores are making it difficult to eat... and then when she does manage to eat, it doesn't taste great. :-/

i am just really thankful that she's still feeling hungry. we had a meeting with the RO yesterday, and even he is surprised that she hasn't started losing any weight.

she has just completed week 4 of radiation (2 more weeks left). i know it's different for everyone.... but still, this doesn't seem normal... does the amount of Gy she is receiving influence her condition? maybe her Gy dosage is lower than most people get?

getting the RO to tell us the exact amount of Gys she is getting will be another battle, but i will ask next week.

soo.
