Hi, I'm Dwight. I started the PatientsForum in 2001 after my second surgery as a way to connect parotid surgery patients and collect information on treatments. I've now had 3 surgeries over a 17 year period and will start RT in January of 2009.

Starting Week 6 !!

Feb 15, 2009 by dwight
Finally, I'm starting week 6!!!!

Not much has changed since I wrote a few days ago. Lost 3 pounds this week just because food tastes bad. The radiation burn is a little darker and I now have the dreaded "plugged ear". Will talk to the doctor about it tomorrow. It's not painful yet.

No sores on my skin or in my mouth yet.

I asked the dr. about giving me 2 doses this Friday so I would not have to return on Monday the 23rd for my last treatement. She said no. Darn. Thinking about blowing it off.......

I laid low most of the weekend so I will be ready for the week. I seem to recover pretty quickly over the weekends. Even my skin seems better.
