Oscar,

Just got back from treatment #9. Over the weekend, the mouth sores started. They are so painful. You're right-especially at night. The nurse thought it was kind of early for me to have these. As it turns out, it's thrush. I just got a Rx for diflucan and also Percacet. I 'm just doing liquids right now. I don't see the point in chewing something I can't taste. I bought 2 cases of the Carnation VHC. I really want to avoid a feeding tube.
Oh boy... 21 to go.
