Hi all,

Weekly Update--Week 1 Summary

Completed (4) sessions of IMRT to rt tonsil area and neck.

Here's what I noticed:

--Initially mask was confining and clausterphobic--especially when it's snapped down onto the table. This apprehension gradually went away with deep breathing and calming prayers.

--Noticed that my tongue stuck to the top of my mouth last night (dry and pasty), and that the texture of my saliva is changing (it's more "frothy/bubbly").

--I get heartburn.

--I'm tired, but not sleepy tired, and have a dull headache.

So, that's all I noticed--so far so good, I'm about 14% complete (25 more sessions).
