The Old Mucus Topic
Nice to see everyone! Everyone new to Cancer survivors, reguarding Mucus, I had to return last week to have my radiation in my throat scraped, yeah, you talk about gross, i woke up with a trach, and was told i would have to wear if for a week and a half. This thing is going to have to come out, MUCSUS!..I am trying to work to to the great health state we live in and my boss isn't great about paying for sick days. I wear a bandana around my neck to cover the air hose up first, and when the cough ing starts, god help ya. i feel like frosty machine, my boss grosses out and insist I am giving out strange odors, if this doesn't want you to live, you figure, I am in the process of applying for total dissability, and getting this in line, and getting out of and away from the caring person i work for, where this comes from, i have no idea, it was under control just before surgery, and they mmessed around with teh previous surgery, and fro radiation and layers of dead flesh, they scraped to generate healing, this better work , and they are now check ing to see if anymore tumor is alive? SweetBlood and Jim Glad to see you, Life doesn't get any worst, either the medicines that are taking me down or i sit here and hold my head and cry, the soreness in my neck and trying to keep eating is a journey, plus trying to pay my household bills, or get food on the able, I hope it is good news this Monday, The docotrs I have a feeling are guessing, or will see, or it could be..doesn't sound very promising anymore. Take Care All. Dennis

Strange Odors
Funny you should mention that Dennis. When I was doing all of the Chemo and wearing the pump for four days with the 5FU. I'd take a bath and just soak for awhile. My wife would swear that I made the whole house smell. That the chemo was permeating out of my pores....

I know I always would smell an odor, kind of like cat urine, LOL....
