Half-way through with Radiotherapy. Had a appointment with MO yesterday and he gave is a big list of medicines to take care of the mouth and mucositis. If it gets worse, my dad would need to get admitted.

He has given Aloclair Gel and Candid Mouth paint to take care of Sores and Thrush respectively. He has increased dose of painkillers. Surprisingly, my dad is recovering since his visit to the doctor. Not sure if it is medicines or fear of getting admitted!

Hope he can get past remaining treatment without much trouble.
