I finished chemo this week. [View all]

YAY!!!! Yes!!!!! Woohooo!!!

Still have 3 more days of radiation next week then I get a 4 week break. Then I go back for blood work and CT scans to see how effective the treatments (chemo/radiation) have been.

Next week they do a renal panel to see how my kidneys did with chemo.

Got some Silvadene for my neck and face burns.

Have a couple of new medicines for my mouth and throat. Supposed to help me eat by numbing and coating my mouth and throat.

Almost done with the treatment phase.

I hope I don't have to do any of it again.
