I couldn't go to radiation today due to the snow. I go back on Monday, so I have a three day weekend! I'll probably see my RO on Monday, and will ask about the days being made up, and about any percentage survival loss. Definately not gong in twice a day, if it's done with Proton Treatment. Have to have my blood work faxed to him since I can't get a copy until I see my oncologist later that day, they are not associated. So far, everything is gong well, minus transportation, and mixed treatment hours. I did have dry mouth once my air conditioner broke down, I use it during the winter sometimes, so I bought a humidifier, and that helped, along with biotene spray, water, sparkling juices, soda, and brushing during the night. I have more mucus since my surgery/radiation in October, and coughing from the vagus nerve removed, and do aspirate from from swallow study. the neuropsthy inmthe hands and feet worsened sincevchemo, so takiing gaopentin mre often. 7 proton treatments down, 2 chemo, 18 and 3 more to go...whose counting lol.

Cooked up a storm Christmas Eve, Day, NYE and NYD as planned. I made crab and lobster imperial with leftovers yesterday, and today beef pot pies, so the swallowing is good, supposed to turn my head and swallow to prevent aspiration, but sometimes I forget, food gets caught, and have to hack it out. and get into a choking fit. Better to turn and swallow.
