Thanks MrsW, I may try that.

I talked to my nurse Friday after my 4th treatment, she advised me to stop taking my anxiety medicine, Lexapro, as it was drugging me out too much. I was sleeping 12-15 hrs a day...and was nauseous the whole time. She also thinks that I may be really sensitive to the rads, as im already starting to get the side effects.

Its been 5 days since I started, the tingling\mild burning sensation on my tongue is present, as well as decreased saliva and loss of taste, which is causing me to not want to eat. (My family is forcing me to..lol). Right now all i can taste is general salty or sweet flavors. Im dealing with thrush again. So...all in all ....Yay! Im reminded to be careful what you wish for.....I kept remarking that waiting for everything to happen was the worst...well, I dont have to wait any longer.
