Oh dear not a good day today, uncomfortable this morning and feeling tired, It was a long day for other half he did not have to be at Radio until 3pm. Another hour waiting today which just frustrated him even more as he needs to drive home for 1 hour 20 minutes and is struggling to drive in the dark.
His skin is really starting to dry out now and the rash is all over his head, face, neck and chest area, he is finding this uncomfortable to deal with but still putting the E45 cream on (again not enough in my view) Using the mouth wash on a regular basis.
Really suffering with his throat today, he said it is quite painful and his mouth is sore.
At his appointment today after radio he was informed that a dietician was coming to see him, supposed of been on Monday not today so hubby said he really cannot wait any longer and wanted to get home, he was then informed a nurse was coming to see him again he did not want to stay any longer and just anted to get home.
Probably best if he had waited as he really needs some spray for his mouth, |I understand you can get something that helps to numb the mouth. He is going to speak with the nurse tomorrow and ask her advice about this.
Worryingly he said he not sure how much more of the radio he can take as the way he is feeling already he worried now how much worse it will get, the last thing he needs to do is stop this treatment, hopefully tomorrow is another day and he feels a little brighter.
