One day off half way. The Hubby is really feeling the effects now, extremely tired and weak, hardly eating anything now, not because he is not hungry but because it is to painful to swallow. After Radiotherapy today he saw the Nurse and was weighed he's lost a stone in 3 weeks, the Nurse told him off and said he needs to start drinking Fortisips, he hates them but I am encouraging him to see these as part of his medicine.
Today he was given Morphine Oral Solution, Benzdamine Spray and Gelclair Mouth Wash much stronger than
the ones he already got.
As he got another 3 weeks of treatment yet including 3 more Chemo sessions I strongly suspect he will be using his RIG to feed.
