Wendy . . . my mouth was in terrible shape after just 10 tx. Not typical but it does happen. I had to write notes to wife as I could barely talk. Had to forego tx for a few days to have peg put in. Thereafter poured in 2,500 cals a day of Jevity and also medications which I simply could not have swallowed. Your doctor should be on top of the "blockage" problem you noted as that is par for the course during this period of treatment. Very difficult to believe now but better days lie ahead. Keep the faith and best wishes to you two.
