Halfway done. The oxy is helping with the painful mucositis, though there are still unfortunately sores on the roof of
my mouth - way in the back - that are causing discomfort as every time i swallow, the rear of my tongue rubs against them. There is an sore near the tip of my tongue which is causing trouble. Luckily my sense of taste isn’t bad - can still taste chocolate and vanilla. I guzzle three shakes a day and have maintained my weight. I’m tired a lot but for some reason i find it easier to sleep during daytime than I do at night, which is frustrating. I think my face is swelling because the radiation mask is becoming very tight. Overall this could be a lot worse, so I should be thankful for that - but i don’t know what the next three weeks will bring. Will keep you updated. Hope everyone is staying safe (and sane) during this virus craziness.
