Today is a better day.When he came home for his treatment ,he told me he couldnt eat the packet soup because it made his tongue sting,so he went to the kitchen and warmed up a good size bowl of mine,and ate the lot!!!!His jaw stiffness seems much improved and his neuralgia seems to be responding to the tryptizol at last.Last night he ate beef casserole and two dumplings and then fell sound asleep.Treatment today was rearranged for 9am due to a linear accelarator breakdown so i will be interested to see how he copes with treatment before work.I got him to eat two poached eggs on toast before he left and he took a flask of soup so.....fingers crossed.Weekend off treatment now so a couple of days to see how he is feeling.
