When will things start getting better? I finished my twice a day radiation treatments for base of the tongue cancer last Friday, and, perhaps naively, I thought that I would start feeling better. Actually I feel worse now than when I was still in treatment. My neck is red and burnt, which I can handle. I eat through my PEG, which I have grown used to, although it does get quite boring repeating that routine four times a day. What has me feeling bad, however, isn't really pain. It is more of an internal feeling of just not feeling good. Of course the cans of formula, even though containing fiber, are still constipating, so I have to balance them with the right number of laxative pills. The constant spitting of mucous can really get annoying and disrupting to sleep.
So when , if anyone knows, does one start feeling like a person again. Normally I would want to go to the office more, hit some golf balls, or at least go to the park and putt, but today I did not even leave the house.
