One day at a time. You can do this.

During the last couple of radiation weeks I had constant nausea and vomited often- the smell of food was almost intolerable, and the mouth sores were bad, especially on the tongue. I had the viscous lidocaine also, but could not bring my self to swallow it so swished it around for a minute or two then spit it out. I tried to keep as much as possible of it on my tongue sores, and it did provide some relief.

The drive to radiation was filled with apprehension. The stent gagged me and when I got strapped down the stent handle would push down hard onto my lips. I told my Doctor it was a medievel torture device. He raised his eyebrows.

My Doctor advised me to "keep ahead" of the pain, telling me not to wait too long to take meds.

I did not think I could finish, but I did and so can you!

I am wishing you the best.
