Hi everyone,
We just got through the 5th week without too many problems. There are some minor annoyances going on now like the fact that the inside of my mouth hurts like hell. Chemo does kill your taste buds and other cells in the mouth area so this is not unexpected but it is a pain in the butt. I cannot enjoy anything that has salt or pepper on it because it burns the heck out of my mouth. The only foods that don't “hurt” to eat are cold, non spicy foods like…ice cream!! Anything that is hot (cooked) burns my mouth and anything that is spiced burns my mouth so ice cream is the perfect solution. Chocolate works too but everyone knows the benefits of chocolate over cancer right?? ;)
Week 6 is coming up this Friday and that is also the half way point!! They will be adding another 50% to the dosage from last week so this is going to be the highest dosage I get from here on out. If it is too much we might drop back on it but we will see after next week.
In the meantime Carol and I are decorated the house yesterday and today so I will try and get some pictures soon
I hope everyone is having a great Turkey Weekend!
Peace and Love
John and Carol
Dear John
ReplyDeleteHey, we who are on high blood pressure pills, know that salt is not good for one anyway. Knowing that chocolate is number one on Carol's Dad's food chart, well, you can't get any more evidence, and knowing that all milk products are healthy... WELL chocolate ice cream sounds like the perfect wonder food for you! Keep up the good work... Your blogs are amazing!
Love and prayers... Joanne and Bill
