Christine, thank you soooo much for all your encouragement and advice. You certainly have been there. You're rather incredible. I looked in his throat today and it appears his mucositis has worsened back there. His mouth is almost healed except for under his tongue. Because the rads continue to work for a couple of weeks post tx, is that possibly why his throat has gotten worse the past week?

He is so exhausted that I watched as he sat in his chair, watching TV. He started to cough up mucous and gagged. As he was spitting into his bucket, that poor man started nodding off! It was so sad and pathetic I had to go into the laundry room and have a good cry. Just breaks my heart. He will not lie down at night. He stays propped up on the couch because he says he chokes if he's not upright. You can imagine he gets very little sleep.

Alright, enough of my rant. Big girl pants are back on!

Thank you for ALL your help.

Carol
