Hi Oscar,

Well,12 down,18 to go here. It's getting a little difficult to swallow, but I'm managing so far. Still doing just liquids. I can taste only a few things slightly, very frustrating to watch the rest of the family eat, especially this time of year. The thrush I had last week is now gone, but I have an ulcer on the left side of my tongue which is troubling me. First because it's painful and second because this is how my symptoms began before I was diagnosed. I'm going to have the Dr. look at it Monday. I want him to look at it and tell me it's just from the radiation and not something my imagination is dreaming up. So far, the pain is manageable with percocet. My neck is starting to get red too. Putting on lots of aquaphor. The percocet makes me pretty tired, but nothing else to report.
