The first day of week 6 is over. We are counting down. He did seem to recover a little bit over the weekend, but the pain really kicked in yesterday. They said to double his pain medicine, so hopefully tomorrow will be better. He can only whisper now. His neck did peel in a few areas and is raw. We're seeing the doctor on Wednesday to see if he can get chemo. I hope his blood work comes back good. He started taking L-glutamine, which is supposed to help with the mucus. We checked with the doctor first and were told it might help. It can't hurt. The nurses even tried to cheer him up today. You can just look at him and see how miserable he is. One of the nurses told him that this is one of the worst cancer treatments to go through, but at least this cancer is curable.
