My third set of blood tests go well despite a week of really painful mouth ulcers (canker sores), a common problem on chemo. Dr. Paterson gives me Rx for his special elixir to hit em hard. Combined with drugstore over-the-counter remedies, progress is being made. Talking and eating with a thick tongue and ulcerated throat are hard but doc is pleased I have not lost weight. Food doesn't look so good after it's been through the blender but it keeps up the nutrition level! We manage to eat with or entertain Trina, Nancy, Justin, Michelle, Roger, Alison, Harry, Mick, Mary & Mark this week despite this setback. Dark chocolate bunnies and eggs from Bernard Callebaut are forced down! Thank god for Weetabix, Ensure and Nancy's Sherpherd's Pie.
