Sharing the progress.

21/30 RT and 42 Gy completed. Unilateral Radiotherapy is causing much of the problems as doctors are putting all their arsenal on the affected area.

- Mouth sores - on lips as well this time that tend to bleed.
- Sores in throat - causing difficulty to swallow water
- Bad cough
- Heavy-headedness and drowsiness
- 5 Lbs lost so far
- Mouth infection slightly better after medication.
- Blood test - Hb 10.7, rest seems ok. Sodium less so Radition Onco have asked him to increase table salt intake.

Radition Onco seemed to be satisfied with the progress so far. Just hoping for the best outcome after all the pain that my dad has gone through.
