Hello again,
Story for you: I work at a Nuclear Plant. After my 3 month check-up that included a PET scan I knew I would probably set off the rad alarms when I left work. I also knew I should have filled out the paperwork and informed security and others but hey I had chemo brain that day and forgot. Well as I was leaving work that first day after I got within 15 feet of the monitor and yup, it sure did go off. Armed security officers came a running. After some explaining and 15 minutes of paperwork and a call to my oncologist they did let me go home.
I appreciate hearing that I may get more/better taste back and the dry mouth may get even better. Dave, I remember back when I was struggling you told me that at first it would get better faster than slow way down. And you were right, it really seems I have plateaued and not getting any better but over time there is small improvements. It is hard not to get impatient. Although I had a PEG tube I forced myself to eat a little each and every day (Daves good advice again) and I think that really helped. One thing that tasted ok through the whole ordeal was Grape Nut Flakes breakfast cereal! And my wife's homemade chicken soup.
