Turns out his mouth felt like it was just one big huge sore. He compared it to biting into a roasted marshmallow and having all the hot goo burn your entire mouth. Food has tasted awful for the last few days but he is still eating anyway. Today was the first day he's been able to taste the real taste of food. I'm hoping he can enjoy the taste this coming week. His second chemo treatment is a week from Monday.
