    Thanks max
    I'm not on any pain meds but it seems to have come back up to a more normal range for me this morning. I doubt dehydration is an issue as I've been drinking 80-100 oz of water each day and peeing like a racehorse all day and night. So far so good although I know it's early yet and I'm sure things will get a bit tougher with subsequent treatments. I figure if I stay focused on oral hygene, nausea meds and stool softeners, good hydration and as much exercise as I can manage I should come through this ok. Wife and I are gonna keep a good eye on the heart and lungs and report anything suspicious. Thanks for checking in max. Aaron

    Hi ta
    I believe the same thing and my doctor told me the more you drink the more dead cell you can eject quickly(eww). I find that doing 32 oz of water and then 32 oz of water with powdered Gatorade is really good as well because it keeps our electrolytes up as well. My mouth started hurting today so my Onc is giving me some magic mouthwash tomorrow and hopefully that will get it under controll before it gets out of hand. Sennakot and water our 2 best friends for the next few months, I find it quite amazing how this disease complicates and simplifies life at the same time. Thanks for checking in ta and let's talk again soon. Aaron

    mouth sore
    Hi Aaron,

    I found that by avoiding anything acidic during and for about a week after my
    treatments, I avoided mouth issues. The gatorade might be a little acidic - not sure.
    Just sharing.

    I'll keep that in mind. Just when I thought life couldn't become any more surreal ICHIRO gets traded to the YANKEES?!?! I know it's his last best chance for a ring but this hurts.

    Sending prayer up on your behalf
    You will get through this just fine. The strength is there for the asking - just don't forget to ask!
