Quick update: or i hope it turns out quick. I am on my last radiation treatment on Tuesday. Then i will have made it, through one of the most difficult things ive ever experienced.

For informative purposes, i wont sugar coat this. The mouth,gum, and tongue. Sores/blisters have been plaguing my mouth for weeks. Now i can feel them and see them. They are painful and burn, to alleviate the pain i do a number of things. I use magic mouthwash, 50mg fentanyl patch, 2 benadryl, and a 10mg/325mg percoset. At this point in treatment, i sleep a lot. I eat somewhat. Right now it is just water and a couple of sips of boost. I know it HAS to be more, but frankly the burning tongue and my upper palate is so sore and tender that i cry like a 2 year old. I tried soft, jello, creamy soups, clear broth, any kind of soft food. Everything hurts. Thankfully, my team has at least given me 2 hydrations. Ive gotten refills on prescription, and made sure everything
was in order, before im finished with the radiation and oncology team. But i am hanging in there. This will not stop me. Ive went from 267lbs from the beginning of treatment to 228 lbs. Most everyone says that is great. You lost all that weight! I have to remind them that Cancer is the worst diet EVER!

So to all that have gone through this and those to come i wish you all peace and comfort. May the Lord walk with you through your troubled times.
