Well we got the RT done yesterday as on schedule and this morning had another one down! I am now down to 2 more treatments on that end! What a relief! We had to work pretty hard to get past some issues that I was having dealing with the bite block and had to improvise a lot but now we have it down to a science (always at the end!). After the physical part of the treatment is over the radiation continues for awhile working on the inside but the outside can begin to heal. After the first 28 treatments the burn field was narrowed down considerably for these last ten shots so I am already seeing a lot of healing happening where there is no more in line contact.

Still on a considerable among of drugs from nausea, saliva, mucous, anti anxiety, anti depressant, pain meds, and who knows what else. I am looking forward to getting all this stuff out of the system and returning to normalcy once again.

Tomorrow is my next visit to the oncologist office so I many not post until late or wait until Thursday so I can explain the visit. We are on the run constantly it seems between different doctors, treatments, or locations as I get IV fluids 7 days a week. (arms are like bald, bruised, pin cushions!); and I still have to have down time to heal while its all going on. So hang in there gang, the worst is over and I'll post when I can.
