William,
What is "magic mouth wash"? Several times now I have seen reference to it.

I was right that last Friday's rad 13 was a bad omen. By Saturday night my taste-buds had really gone haywire and after today's rad 14 everything I have tried to eat really tastes awful. A couple bites and I lose my appetite.

Water now has more of an "off taste", but .......

Anyway my throat frog and her muck pond are such a mess now I just manage to swallow soft foods and since they now taste so bad I guess is time to confront the dreaded PEG.

Today I got a big bottle of Lortab, smaller bottle of Viscous Lidocaine thru my MO, but he said I should check with my RO about the "patches". I will see him tomorrow.

I also picked up some Robitussin DM. Actually I am not in any pain yet except when I swallow and my mouth is still free of sores. Tomorrow ends my week three ... then four and beyond!
