I'll post the soup recipe on another forum topic (hmmmm--medications? adjunctive therapy?) -- made it again yesterday. MMMMmmmm...
Now only 6 more treatments -- three more regular, then Friday, Monday and Tuesday radiation only to the primary target area (same Gy dose) which is tonsil and base of tongue. One more chemo on Wedesday.
Barry is holding up well though his throat is more sore (still eating) and he is being more careful about pain management. His skin is still good tho a bit right under his chin looks sun-burned, so it may blister or peel. Has anyone tried tea tree oil for this? (I know it is good for regular sunburn).
ROs very pleased and encouraging. But of course we are starting to wonder -- did this work? Will be 2 months before they will want to do the scans, to avoid being "scared by remaining inflammation" as RO said.
Count-down...
