Day 40: My daily intake has been going great. I can eat most of what I want with limitations. Anything too chewy is out, like fresh veggies. Some foods will sometimes irritate the back of my mouth/throat.

Staying at home for the most part, except to pick up groceries ( with a mask) and prescriptions. Speaking of which, I had a video visit with my PCP today and was prescribed Gabapentin (Neurontin) for the neck dissection nerve pain that I've been having since surgery. Hoping it helps to alleviate the nerve pain. 🤔

A recent blood draw revealed that my white blood cells have rebounded and most other numbers are looking good. But I still have anemia. Could be from the treatment I figure, or it might be still ongoing from before my cancer diagnosis last fall. Not sure which.

My energy levels have improved quite a bit since I came home from Ann Arbor where I had my treatment. I don't need to take naps during the day anymore, but I do go to bed early so I can get about 10 hours of sleep. I go on walks around the neighborhood on nice days or ride my bike. Looking forward to the gym opening up so I can restart my strength training.

I will be having my 3 month post- treatment PET scan in June, as long as the coronavirus lockdown is lifted by then. Hanging in there...
