The count down is Wed and Thurs so that makes 2 zaps to go Yes they have added the 2 zaps I missed out on. See the Oncologist again Thursday for further info and follow ups & the PET scan in a couple of mths to see how and if we have got on and if / what needs to be next on the agenda. At the moment the ulceration down my throat and all over the gums cheeks and yes the newly fashioned armtongue are suffering with those nasty ulcers The neck is now a turkey's neck red or better still a Baboons arse red. Planning to nick off for a week ? over near Mildura after I see the original surg 9th Aug. We had one of those Holiday auction things to use up so that is the plan but we all know what happens when we plan things. the hardest part has been the daily trip to town, very tiring (and G's driving) Plus trying to swallow stuff. But the end is in sight so watch out you lot at Mannum x

. At the moment the ulceration down my throat and all over the gums cheeks and yes the newly fashioned armtongue are suffering with those nasty ulcers :

Sounds very similar to Trina's first round of chemo... think they either misjudged her size or weight (wasn't much of either at the time) or gave too strong a dose initially. She was in agony with the mouth/throat ulceration for some time.

She's currently checking her 'records' & will contact you.xx

That looks a lot like the burning I get when welding if I forget the long sleeves and gloves, probably similar radiation I guess. A bit late now, but I wonder how applying 50 weight sunburn cream would go before the radiation treatment to protect the surface of the skin. It works with the welding burn if I remember to use it

Sh*t Dot, That is one mean looking scar. I would bet that you are just itching to get back on the road and head off anywhere.
Good luck mate

[Dot]

Well that is that lot done and dusted for the time being Last zap was at 2.30pm today My mask even came home with me Terry the sun screen stuff is a no no there is something in it that reacts to the rays I have been told to use the QV skin wash and skin cream. They don't have any of the things in it that could react. Every chance I get I smother the neck and jawline/ears with the stuff and it looks like it has paid off I still go back to see the oncologist and nurse every week for monitoring and drug scripts of course I was told that the next 2-3 weeks may even get worse as the radiation still continues to build slightly after the last zap but the travelling will be a great relief not to do every day.
