Hi Margaret,
We didn't seem to find the right balance for the baking soda and salt water. I asked my mom's nurse prac for a rx of sodium chloride, she happily gave it to us. This works so much better for her.
I read your posts and it seems my mom is following the same symptoms course and around the same time following treatments. She only has 9 more rad outpatient txs and 2 more Erbitux txs; then she will get some time off for good behaviour! >>>just trying to inject a little humor. I was told today that she'll get close to a month off, then more scans, not sure which will be ordered, then the brachetherapy.
She is starting to burn, she says she looks like she has a "5 o'clock shadow" on her face. I told her she still looks beautiful and it will all go away with healing.
I almost forgot, they gave my mom a rx for tussionex today, has Dan been on this? Did it help at all?
Hope you are both doing well. Hope everyone here is feeling good!
