yesterdays chat with the dietitian went well - despite eating for England I had still lost a kilo, but no panic just yet. Some milk shake mixes now on order (400 calories a pop!) which will see me straight for next week if needed. Had started chewing sugar free gum to take taste away. This worked for short periods which was good. Had a couple of welcome visitors last night, bit of light relief and good to talk about other more positive things rather than my illness. Bad news is that last night the mucus lining the back of my throat decided to 'leave the building' which left all around my throat entrance (oropharynx) really sore - this is good in a way as this is the primary target area for the RT so at least it is working and attacking any stragglers hiding there. Needless to say I hardly got any sleep, if it wasn't drinking water, it was having to get up for a pee! Fortunately pain has now eased off after salt gargle and I managed a nice omelette for brekkers. Cream cakes on order for afternoon tea when I get back from RT9. Am ready for a relaxing weekend...
