1 week: 5 x Radio / 1 x Chemo Session to go

Well our plan must have worked since Jen has managed to keep her weight steady, and it looks like despite the odds we have been able to avoid both the PEG as well as the Nasal Gastric Tube.

Unfortunately, the pain level has increased and she has lost her voice because of constant coughing due to dryness & itchiness in her throat. Hence, we have moved on to Endone / Cocaine Mouth wash + was given a nebulizer to help with the dry throat.

Still taking in 2000 calories+ a day (she is only a small girl - 162cm (5"3) & 51kg (112 pounds) so 2500 is a bit tough!), and this is more of a routine rather than due to hunger or satisfaction from eating.

Both the RO & MO are extremely happy with how Jen is coping with the treatment and also are very pleased with how well the inside of the mouth, throat & tongue looks at this point of time.

Praying every day that this coming Friday will be the first day of officially being 'cancer free' for many many decades to come, and I will make sure to cap this thread off with a summary of our journey thus far..

Thanks for everyone's support and words of encouragement and we will continue to have you in our prayers.

Jay & Jen (+ Hunter!)
