I am just wondering how everyone else that is going through the treatments right now are doing.
My husband is in his second week of radiation (6th treatment today) and the doctor says that his tumor is getting smaller!! Definately good news to me. He will have his third dose of erbitux tomorrow with really only a little rash on his nose. His oncologist prescribed some clindamycin gel though we are afraid for him to use it because he had quite a bad reaction the oral antibiotic. While I realize that the topical and oral meds are different, we are still gun shy so to speak.
Worst side effects so far for him are the dry mouth, taste changes, (already? he said the rice we ate the other night tasted like a sponge) and some major dizziness some times, and SLEEPING! I knew he would be tired, I guess I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly once the treatments started, but I look at it as his healing time so I will take it.
I would love to hear any suggestions of some foods that might taste a little better under the circumstances.
Thanks for listening (or reading)
