Well, well. Here it is,I am half way done with my rads and it seems like only yesterday I was just beginning. Yesterday, when I could taste food, enjoy my coffee flavor, and sleep all night without waking up. Snap out of it Bill. If this is the worst I have to deal with than I have got it made. However, I do have a sore,dry throat, a sunburn feeling on my neck like you wouldn't believe, and no taste buds. I started using Biotene products to help with the dry throat and the soreness I am tolerating. I drink around 80 oz of water daily and force myself to eat until I can't eat anymore of it. I am still working full time and that helps me deal with this mess. I know that tough times are right around the corner and with the Lord's help I am going to get through this and be a better person than I was.
