I popped in for an update. This is great news!!! Keep fighting the fight. Keep eating all those cancer fighting foods and getting as much rest as possible so your body can heal.

I popped in for an update too & am so pleased this is going well for you. Shrink those suckers!
The x-large gel packs (Chatanooga Colpac brand) cooled in regular fridge might help the heat & tenderness you are experiencing. I use on lower back all the time & find very helpful for chillin' out pain & tension. Usually in specialty drugstores, always on Amazon. The "clinical grade" black ones are tougher & last longer than the blue vinyl, but cost lots more.
You are beautiful, btw, just as I imagined you would be. Rock the turban.

You both are in my prayers. I am visiting your medical center weekly with my mil for her chemo. As a matter of fact we need to go wig shopping for her this week. Yours is beautiful!
Anything at all EVER I can do I would be honored. Can I walk your turtle for you?
That's because I scare the shit out of it.
That's the spirit I know your doctors and nurses adore you!

You all are so sweet...thank you!!
My last chemo treatment is this Wednesday and then I have 12 more days of radiation treatments to get through. My skin is falling off from being burned over and over again and my pain level is pretty high...lots of shooting sharp pain.
Overall I feel good as can e expected although I Have zero appetite and what I do eat doesn't taste good and my jaw locks up
So, eating isn't high in my list...lol!
I missed my first day of work this past Monday...I was in so much pain there was no way I would have made it all day, M bosses are impressed that I've only missed 1 day
Thank you again for thinking of me....that was so nice of you all!!!!!

DS you ARE a rock star!!!!! I love your attitude!
I'm so sorry you are hurting. 
Make sure you get a referral to the bone health clinic when you finish the radiation. Your jaw locking up just made me think of your bones. I took my mom to see a doctor there recently and she was so smart and good!
