Two Weeks Down, Four and a Half To Go

It has been a good week.

The nausea lessened day by day until it disappeared altogether and then my energy level steadily increased as I managed to eat more and more. Meanwhile, the side effects of the radiation are still only annoying (dry mouth, loss of taste) and not yet painful. This is one case where it's better to be tasteless than have a sharp tongue, I suppose.

Next Tuesday I check back into the hospital for another go at inserting a feeding tube. Fingers and eyes crossed that this attempt will go more smoothly.
