Gloria----thank you for your advice. The oral cavity looks pretty good, its my throat. Lovely shade of white, lots of mucous. I did eat an egg today...that was a big deal and later for dinner I had some mashed potatoes with gravy and home made soup. Coughing was a problem. I am trying to do this without getting a peg tube.....I actually gained 4 lbs during treatment. He has said more than once that
I need to use it or loose it when it comes to swallowing. Some advice I have read about in medical journals to heal mucositis faster is the use of L-glutamine which I add to smoothies and my rinse water. It has worked in clinical trials. Also organic aloe vera. I use the powder and add to water. It is supposed to help with inflammation. Because my cancer is believed to have been caused by silent reflux I worry about nsaids. I also swallow a teaspoon of honey once a day. I want all this to work and be cured in 10 days....of course, who doesn't? Thank you for your advice!
