Linda- you are a HERO for doing this w/o a feeding tube. I CANNOT imagine trying to consume liquids with all of the sores in my mouth. Sounds like you are doing great! That is one of my goals is to be able to swallow liquids and not use my feeding tube 100% of the time as I am now. You are about 4 weeks ahead of me in recovery. How are you doing with your mucus? Are you having any issues with that? How are you doing energy wise? Have you found a time in the recovery process where you really feel like you turned a corner? I'll be 3 weeks post rads this Tuesday and I'm hoping to wake up feeling awesome! A girl can always dream....right?!
Yes, focusing on the positives are the best we can do! A day at a time......
