Thanks for asking. No. I am blessed and not going through this alone. Husband is very attentive and supportive. I am able to eat eggs, chopped salads and a few other solid foods. Otherwise it is cream of wheat, oatmeal, smoothies that I make and pureed soups that I make. In 3rd week of Erbitux. No mouth sores yet but sensitivity is starting. Using baking soda/salt rinses several times per day. Things are progressing and thanks to everyone here, I know to expect the upcoming worse days. Not looking forward to it but it is a process.
