Tuesday started out getting my blood taken, my weekly check. I'm taking the nausea meds now and am able to return to normal eating and drinking. The day went fairly normal I did spend some time with HR to gather up the forms I need for FMLA and STD just in case I need them. The fatigue already is wearing on me and the thought of working through this is starting to fade. No need to push it to the envelope all the time; need this one to be on cruise control and to get healed up the best I can as quickly as I can.

Phyllis had me come in 15 minutes early today as they started me a new med called Ethyol that is designed to help keep my mouth healthy (protect salivary glands and help sores heal faster) while receiving RT. It's given as a shot, today I got it in the arm. No big deal at all kind of felt like someone gave me a frog in the arm but I didn't seem to have any side effects. That's a good thing. I was pretty tired last night and took a nap. It's amazing that I can take a nap and then when I go to bed I am out when the head hits the pillow!

Tomorrow is Erbitux day and RT so I'm sure I will sleep very well tomorrow night!
