Thanks all for your words of encouragement all.

We got the magic bullet and have definitely got our money's worth over the past 3 months with it, and I am coming up with all sorts of interesting ways to pack in as many calories as in small of a drink possible. The Resource 2.0 (400 kcal in 200ml) + Manuka Honey + Peanut Butter + Whey Powder + Full cream milk into the magic bullet = one hell of a calorie punch.

The NG tube seems like it is a necessary evil at this point of time, as the pain has gotten worse and swallowing is getting difficult by the day. We will find out on Friday if we will need it inserted for the next 2-3 weeks or so but this will be determined by her weight rather than anything else. Reading on these forums, I know it will only get progressively worse even after treatment ends and despite Jen staying off it for so long (She dreads it as she had the NGT in for 10 days during op), I just want to be safe as I know the calories and fluids are most important at this point.

On another twist of events, we were told today that her White blood cell, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes & monocyte level's were too low and despite me saying we did our 6th session, it was actually cancelled this morning and we were both a bit shocked as I thought the Carboplatin would have been easier on the counts and there were no notable symptoms from the drop in counts.. We meet the RO & MO on Friday but it looks like we will have our last administration next Wednesday making it 6/7 Chemo sessions overall for Jen.

Don't know what impact this has on overall treatment effectiveness but from what I can gather on the forums, the results are pretty much the same by the look of things - is this true?

7 Radiotherapy sessions to go now and I am praying very hard indeed that things don't take a turn for the very worse over the next couple of weeks considering we have done so well thus far..

Prayers and thoughts go out to everyone else going through or has gone through treatment and I encourage everyone to keep their head up high as you are all champions.
