Two thirds done!

Twelve radiations behind me, six to go. I'll be glad when next Wednesday has come and gone. The chemo treatments were much worse individually but the effects seemed to subside a bit after a few days; with almost daily radiation the side effects seem to keep accumulating with each session. My tongue and mouth are getting awfully sore and are dry all the time plus the loss of taste gets more complete every day. Today at supper I couldn't even taste a fairly heavy dose of fresh ground pepper! Oh well, as long as this process works I guess it is a relatively small price to pay. It will be interesting to see how long it will take for my sense of taste to recover...I've heard a wide variety of reports...from a couple weeks to almost a year. Time to go read a bedtime story with James (we started on the complete stories of Winnie the Pooh a couple nights ago...a lot of words and not many pictures but he seems to really like it). Sweet dreams..../dps
