Hi Everyone:

I finally finished radiation today. yipee!!!!! grin grin
As some of you know, I was very, very fortunate during my 4 months of treatment. But this weekend and today, the radiation is finally extracting it's justice. My tongue is super sore. eek I, personally, believe it is because the tongue is rubbing on a tooth. For the time being, I using Oxycodone, but if it gets worse, I'll switch to the patch. I'm hoping it just heals as quickly as it did at the beginning of treatment.

I'm just dealing with whatever each day brings. I going to wait to celebrate with a big, fat juicy steal when my taste buds come back.

Thanks for everyone's support.
