Half-Way Through Radiation

I completed the half way mark for my radiation on Friday, the 13th. Life is pretty rough now!! I can still swallow but my voice is pretty much gone; I manage a rough whisper and get some sound out but it really hurts. I am on pain medication now as well as antibiotics since my lips, mouth, and throat are full of sores. I try to keep my spirits up because I know that is the only way I can beat this thing. The most important thing for me is that I am now half way through the radiation. I have 15 days of treatment left, and after today, Monday, it will be 14 and with every day that number will drop. I have chemo today, as well as the radiation. Mondays are the big day for me ,and I am exhausted by the time I get home. Please remember to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

There’s a front page article about me in the Ft Lauderdale Sun Sentential today - I’ll try and see if there’s a link to the article and post it here.

As always, your donations, prayers, and comments are welcome and appreciated.

Love, Alan
