Dropped by for an early radiation session at today at 10:30AM and then had lab work and a meeting with my PCP. Down seven lbs, no more canned soup due to sodium in them and no more bottled fruit drinks due to corn syrup. I have to take an additional 60-70 grams of protein each day. Dropped by the Vitamin Shoppe on Grape and bought some vanilla flavored whey protein mix and a shaker. Just downed my first drink. Not bad. Also musty gargle with salt water after every meal due to the impact of the chemo on the mouth. It creates a white filmy fluid in your mouth that sticks to everything and must be rinsed out. Life changes for sure with this battle.
Sat with my little old lady friend for awhile and we watched Price is Right together. We laughed and she seemed in a better mood. It doesn't take much to stop and talk awhile. Everybody there just loves her.
