John has been sailing along fairly well since last rad [7-8-05] had the peg out 8-24-05. Since then, we have experimented with lots of foods to see what was tolerable. However, over the past 2 wks, the phelm and muscous problems have returned big time and his tongue is really sore. He started on the Mucinex last week[read about that here-thank you] and it is helping. But he is a little discouraged at this point about how his mouth feels and that he isn't gaining weight. We go for the 1st scan post tx Oct 26th.
