Today was the 3rd last rad treatment. They replaced the tubing on the mouthpiece so it wasn’t as awful as it was last week with the poor suction and drying of my mouth. I also had my last weekly review with Dr. BOS today. He told me that I should still expect my hair to fall out in chunks; I thought I had gotten lucky because I hadn’t lost any that I’ve noticed so far.

I will be getting an MRI in about 6 weeks and a follow up appointment then. I will also be continuing to see the ENT specialist, as the sinus healing bit is the most aggravating next to the effects of radiation. Dr. BOS’s description included advanced medical terminology such as “there’s a lot of crud in there still being produced that has to work it’s way out”. I will also be going to see the neuro-psychologist next week.

I don’t have much else to say today, someone was just bugging me to update this. I’m tired and it’s Advil o’clock.
