I'm so glad your healing up.
I'm so glad your healing up. I was wondering how your were. Your so lucky to have little ones, it makes christmas so much more special. Mine are Ceara 16 and Teague 14, girl and boy. Soon to be 17 and 15. They don't want anything to do with the holidays anymore, really except get presents. I used to love watching their little face lite up. I'm doing ok went to see my onco surgeon today, he said the pain in my throat is mucositis. Going to see my Rad onco at 4:20 today. Need to get this healed up, it hurts like hell! Well take care big hugs to you too. Love ya, Shelly

mucositis
yeah, I know all about mucositis...mine was on my tongue and along what was left of the roof of my mouth and my upper throat. Everything hurt. I hated to drink anything and even breathing hurt...my nose got extremely dry. I had to use saline in my nose all the time, and I used my caphosol 9-10 times per day...it really seemed to help with the mucositis. and I was at about treatment 12 when they switched me from lortab elixer to morphine (i mixed the drops into extremely watered down apple or white grape juice). wishing you the best...and some good meds to take the pain away...or if it doesn't take it all away, to at least take the edge off so you can rest.
Hugs!
