Thank you everyone - the support is phenomenal as I walk the journey. Family is important and I am thankful that Jason is in my court. I want to thank those who welcomed him. I am very proud of Jason as my son along with his accomplishments and spirit. He is a father of three and a valuable resource since he is a pharmacist. As far as my update the throat is burned and swallowing is difficult. But I am maintaining calorie intake and water. Starting on pain meds today - oxycodone for starters. Erbitux rash is now very prominent and minocycline is used for that. Taste buds are disappearing and mid afternoon fatigue is daily. Yesterday was last day of work and today will be the end of week 2.
