I have 13 radiation treatments left to go. I am not experiencing enough pain to warrant any kind of pain killers or "pink magic" (It is a little sensitive to salty things though). Still suffering from periodic nausea and I'm wondering if that's the radiation buildup kicking in? I have lost a fair amount of weight but the doctor doesn't think I need a PEG. Everything tastes awful and my sense of smell seems to be intensified -strange. I have to force myself to eat. I am getting my 2-3 L. of water a day though.
