Next day
Not much to say about today. A very quiet day.
Mouth and throat pain was average not too severe today. Your mouth and throat are protected by a lining called a musous membrane. Chemotherapy and radiation cause this lining to become inflamed and damaged. This is condition is called mucositis.
A day without any serious misheps, no nausea for a change. I am been fed through a feeding tube once again so no eating. Too painful to eat anyway.
The highlight of my day was that I got to go outside for a while. It was really warm today (26C). It was really good to be outside for a while. It wasn't for long but I enjoyed every minute of it.
All the excitement drained my energy so I slept for the rest of the day.
