Doing Good
2nd day of palifermin, and Dave is starting to feel the effects; sensation of thickening of the tongue, and his taste buds aren't working full force. He still is eating well though, and is trying to heighten his taste with hot sauce!! I swear his mustache grew back overnight, although, he will lose it again after the next two doses of chemo. Just one more day of palifermin, and then he will start his 4 days of TBI (total body irradiation). He will have two sessions a day, each running about 30 min. apiece. We will be walking back and forth to the SCCA for treatments. If he gets too tired though, we are able to take the hotel shuttle. What a nice convenience for us thanks to everyone's generosity. These next two weeks will be busy and challenging, but we will get through it with the help of your prayers. Thank you!

Dave,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everything is going well,
but it must suck that your taste buds are'nt working.Just take it one day at a time and keep up the great attitude.Rich and I will see you at the end of next week. When this is all over you can grow your mustache back for good again.

Dave, things I found tasted good when my taste buds were shot were salty things, chicken noodle soup ( my favorite),anything with citric acid (oranges, apples, mandarin oranges). Cantalope was also great; watermelon didn't taste like much but looks of liquids. GlenH (of Ann and Glen)
