Radiation:End of week three

Well it's 60% over, so hopefully the next two weeks will go by fairly quickly. How is Diane doing? Well, it varies day to day. She has got some good pain medication to help her very sore throat, and some good anti nauseousness medicine to help her there. So on a typical morning, she wakes up with a very,very dry mouth, takes her meds and within an hour she can try to eat or drink something. (She had resorted back to her liquid diet, since almost everything else just tastes awful). Her sense of taste is really wacked. The treatments have been in the morning, so then she comes home and is tired, so maybe a nap in the afternoon, and just an overall "bleahhh" feeling is typical. With that said, she went to see a movie with some friends, and is talking to friends on the phone and via E-mail, so life is just movin' on, getting through this chapter of our lives.
All in all, Diane feels OK, it could be a lot worse, so we are counting our blessings, even as our portfolio goes down the drain quicker than a roto-rooter repairman could do it.
To be continued....
