Chemical Reaction

HELLO ONCE AGAIN,
Sorry for the long time between blogs. Last week was a real learning experience.
One of the chemicals used in my treatment can affect the mucus membranes and it did. It caused acute indigestion and mouth tenderness. Jim and Anne were on top of it though and gave me the necessary treatment. I think we finally have it figured out. I am very careful about my diet now and eat a lot of liquids and softer foods. Cold foods, like ice cream or popcicles really help too. I also eat smaller meals every three or so hours.
I'm feeling better but get tired easily and feel a little weak sometimes.
Thanks to Linda and Bev for the cute head covers. My hair is still hanging in there but getting thinner. I'm sure one of these mornings I will brush and find a handful of hair, but I have my covers now, so let er rip.
My next treatment is March 19th. Wish me luck.
Thanks again for your kind words, they make me feel loved.

    An ice cream diet isn't all bad. Just have Jake make you a Boston Cooler. :-) Glad to hear the problem is under control.
    Love,
