Hello all!
Well, it's been a week and a day since my last radiation treatment and the improvement in my energy level is amazing! I wouldn't say that I'm back to 100%, but at least 85% :). I've been working pretty much full time, although I did sleep in a half hour this morning.
Another big step is that my appetite is coming back! It is not easy when I can't taste anything, but I am eating more and a bigger variety of foods. My throat and mouth are still a bit sore and swollen, but not nearly as bad.
I do still really miss my sense of taste - I have been dreaming about food again. The other night, I dreamed I made a huge chocolate gob cake with a fancy raised design on top. I had extra icing, so I just sat down and ate the whole bowl of icing! It was delicious! That same night, I also dreamed of chocolate chip cookies. Some folks have asked me what it is like to not be able to taste - I can still smell the food, but when I put it my mouth and chew I get no extra sensations - no sweet, salty, sour etc.
