Hi All,

Week 3 was far far less kind that weeks 1 and 2.

At the beginning of the week (Monday) I encountered bad mouth sores, which I was unprepared for--I didn't expect mouth sores, and I had no meds. The drs were suprised this happened so soon.

I was wincing in pain swallowing and speaking. Tylenol helped.

Now I have the mouthwash cocktail, pain pills, and lidocane--I'm heavily armed. Still, even now, the pain is there. It's especially bad at night while (trying to) sleep. I have sores on my tongue, roof of my mouth, and the back of my throat. Plus the mucous keeps flowing--I'm up at least 6x a night just to spit it out and rinse.

I must say, without the pain pills, this would be impossible to tolerate.

I'm halfway done, so that's the good news. Plus, because of Christmas, no treatments for (4) days.


Merry Christmas,


Oscar
