Half way there with treatments and we are still progressing ok.
My wife did have some difficulties over the weekend with the sudden loss of taste meaning that we are back to soft foods for now. There are also a few blisters and a tight neck / throat but the pain is very minimal and hasn't warranted the use of medication for now.
MO & RO are both very impressed with how we are doing so far, but everyone keeps warning us the worst is yet to come and we should brace ourself for the next few weeks. Hence we are stocked heavily with all sorts of medications (Paracetemol / Oxycodone / Lignocaine / Cocaine Mouth Wash etc.)and are ready to roll when the time comes.
Another 3 weeks and we are done for (I do know the worse is 2-3 weeks post tx) and the day can't come sooner enough!
Thanks all for your words of support and advice - it sure does help reading other people's journey through treatment and it has really prepared us for this battle.
