Hi, everybody,
2 weeks and 2 days postradiation!! I took my mask out of the closet today and made faces at it, but when my son wanted me to show how it fit, I refused to bring it close to my face.
Still only eating liquid yoghurt and milkshakes. My son bought me some bodybuilders' high calorie drinks from the health food store, but I could not get them down, same with ensure type drinks - they make me sick and make my throat close. I have always been a picky eater and hated artificial stuff and the taste of powdered milk, and now, even though I can't taste anything, I still can't force myself to eat them. Or I did force myself a couple of times, and ended up vomiting, which certainly does no good.
I now havee a metallic taste in my mouth, especially at the tip of my tongue. I hope it is a sign that my tastebuds are starting to wake up??
12 hours without painkillers today - things are looking up.
Thank you for your support and all the advice and different viewpoints - it really makes this stuff easier to live with.
Leena
