Im going to try the water pick. Some days are rough for sure, all it seems I do on those days is hack and spit. Other days aren't that bad, sleeping is about the form relief I can get. On the bright side Im still eating chicken noodle soup and drinking shakes. Next dose of chemo is tomorrow, to be honest Im kinda scared. Last time was sick for over a week and my saliva was normal.

Does anybody ever feel like that this treatment just isn't right ?
You get so sick and messed-up from something thats suppose to help you just seems so counter-intuitive.
