Thanks for the suggestions. I am doing my best to keep my fluids and calories up. It was a bit tougher this week as I ended up finding another possible outbreak of cancer that I had to spend half the day at the hospital getting checked up for yesterday. I am definitely feeling the toll from it today and working on ramping everything up. I got pretty wiped out, but am starting to feel a lot better now that I've been able to up my intake.

I've had two radiation treatments so far and am already experiencing a good sunburn. I also have a metallic taste that started on day one. I've found sugar-free candy to help a good bit when the taste starts to make me feel nausiated. The anti-nausea medicines seem to be working well.

I am not currently on any pain medications and no longer live anywhere where medical cannabis is legal so those will not be an added issue for me. I will likely break the day up a bit by planning on staying there overnight the night before I am set to teach, that will allow me to get up later and have a shorter more normal work day the next day. But I will see how I continue to feel.

As for the G-tube, whatever the doctor did last Friday that made it hurt so terribly ended up making me feel so much better by Sunday. I am finally able to stand upright and using the moisture-barrier ointment has cleared up any surrounding irritation as well.

Sorry about the signature - I placed it on my original post and didn't think I needed to on any additional replies within the same thread. I'll just leave it posted all the time from now on.
