I have now had 15 treatments. I have found something that really seems to help the sore throat. It is Goodys powders. Within 5 minutes of swallowing down the powder, I can swallow with very little pain.I am not quite sure why this works, but it does for me. I have been able to eat several times a day after taking the powders. Each seems to last about 4 hours.

I have found 2 things I can eat, oatmeal & pancakes. They both seem to go down fairly easy.

My MO at Winship is DR Shen. He seems very good.
I have 2nd chemo on Tuesday.
