Hi everybody,

Now we are nearing the end of week 3 for my mom. She is still not taking anything for the pain (besides a vicadin once in a while). I personally tell her she is crazy. She says that flushing her mouth every couple hours with the rinse really helps her and she insists upon taking and picking my little brother up from school so she says taking the meds will impair her ability to drive. Shes so tough. The chemo doctor told her no more chemo because the radiation is doing its job on its own so that was a blessing. I just keep telling her that after this week the countdown is really a countdown because its halfway over. They cut down her radiation from what was originally supposed to be 8 weeks to 6 weeks. She sees her ENT on Tuesday. I will let you all know what he has to say. I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who is helping me through this. It really helps to talk to you all or type to you all.
