This is the beginning of the 3rd week post chemo and radiation. Tim is making small improvements every day now. He has increased his protein drink intake, and is almost up to the minimum amount of calories that he needs. His throat has improved to the point that he can swallow fairly normally when drinking. AWESOME!! He is not taking ANY pain meds (except a Celebrex for arthritis).
He has tried to eat a few things but the taste is just not worth it. I have encouraged him to keep trying something everyday because you never know what might make the taste buds respond.
He is very tired and is growing impatient with that.
I am encouraged to see more good days than bad now, and he is taking more steps forward than steps backward.
