Week 3 Begins

Continuing with my radiation after 3 days off.

I'm still losing weight - nearly 25 pounds. I am having trouble talking and swallowing and I just gave up and am nourishing myself 100% through my new 'pie-hole'. Keeps me busy all day with all the filling, dripping, cleaning and then starting over five times a day.

I got another prescription today to help with my mouth and throat soreness. This numbs up my mouth pretty quick and makes it feel like I just left the dentist. Still doesn't help me swallow. I nice cold glass of water sounds so good...but it just won't go down.

I was sick yesterday when I got back from my treatment. This was the first time that I have been sick.

Not much good news here - but that's kinda of how I feel.
