Oral cancer. My personal journey

It hasn’t been a good day. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and didn’t get up until 7:30 this morning. I didn’t sleep for long stretches of time, but if it was all added together it probably added up to eight hours. I feel completely exhausted and slept most of the early afternoon today.
I had to get a shot, this morning, to boost my white blood count. I was told that I could feel anything from no pain to excruciating pain in my long bones as they are forced to produce more white blood cells. I certainly didn’t need that! I prayed about it and so far there has been no pain. Thank the lord!
I have really have had trouble getting the calories over the last three days. Food tastes like crap and feeling lousy makes it even harder to get it down. I am supposed to have 2500 calories a day, but I haven’t got that in the last three days. I came close today with 2250. Gag! Gag!
The chemo nurses told me that the skin on my neck looks really good. It is bronzed from the radiation but isn’t peeling.
Four more days and I will have completed my thirty five treatments. Amen!
