Appetizing Cuisine!

This has been a rough week as far as eating goes, some days I just don't get enough - in so many ways. Below is my compiled list of the food I've eaten since the beginning of September. Remember, all I am eating is Osmolite 1.2 Cal by Ross Nutrition (pictured), Juven, water and my meds - most of which are for dealing with the nausea!

9/9: 6 cans
9/8: 1.5 cans
9/7: 3.5 cans
9/6: 2 cans
9/5: 5 cans
9/4: 1/2 can!
9/3: 1 can
9/2: 2.5 cans
9/1: 3 cans

As you can see, today was, by FAR, one of my best days in regards to caloric intake in the last week. I'm hoping we can skip the Chemo this week, since this is what I think gets me in trouble the most.

The radiation is double-time now, twice a day until we finish, with a shorter, more concentrated and focused treatment. Since I have been rubbing fresh Aloe Vera on my neck, the skin there has nearly completely healed!

I can't believe this, the skin on my throat doesn't hurt at all, and this was like a bad sunburn with scabs, oozing and incredible discomfort. Today I started to eat it for my throat, but my nutritionist pointed out that this is not good now, with the low level infection and all, I could end up with something bad. So Lee Anne got some Aloe Vera Juice that is OK to take, and I think I am already seeing a difference, but it's really too early to tell.
