I'm so sorry. At that point
I'm so sorry. At that point in treatment I was vomiting up my tube feeding and then the mucous set in. I went to bed with bags to vomit and or spit in and rolls of toilet paper to spit in. Hang in there. You will be in a better place soon. Keep drinking water. Huggs and Prayers.

Admitted
I went for my 29the treatment and afterwards I was admitted in to hospital. I'm now in the city where I work Pune, India at Ruby Hall Clinic. It's nit as nice as the hospital in Mumbai but they made me feel better. I'm on am IV with fluids plus dynapar for pain and Forcan for the lesions on my tongue and throat. Suddenly the pain in my throat was almost gone and I felt like eating. Had a good and soft lunch and finally a nap. I feel like this is helping. Thank you all for your replies! Sometimes I feel like all this pain is uniquely hitting me and sure does help knowing I'm not alone. Early on several people told me the third week would be the worst and then it would get better. It has only gotten worse since the third week. I hope my next post is all about the progress I am making.

Good to read your news, Joseph...
Sounds like you are stabilized and in good hands. Don't hesitate to ask for pain meds or help when you need it...cancer is like a cage match and you need backup. No, treatment does not crest or get better after the third week. What DOES get better is that you are each day closer to your goal and to the beginning of the recovery period. One day at a time, just like AA.

The worst is already over.
The worst is already over. About 2 weeks after my radiation ended I discovered french toast & scrambled eggs felt very comfortable on my mouth and throat. Then shortly aterwards a Subway meatball marinara (not toasted)was soothing on my throat. I don't know when I fully got my taste back. At first it was pleasant enough just knowing that I coud get good nitrition with real food instead of just a liquid diet.

All your response are
All your response are reassuring. I can't wait to eat again. It's been so long for me here in India where non spice food is almost unheard of. I had to threaten them that I would not pay if there was a spectacular if spice or peppers in my meal. Only a few restaurants got it so I stopped eating out with friends.
