I thought I was getting off lightly with a bit of a sore throat and not much else, until Friday, 4 days ago when suddenly when I ate food, sweet or savoury it all has the most awful bitter taste and an extremely sore mouth and tongue so consequently I couldn't face eating and I only had cups of tea. I do have a bit of a problem with eating at the best of times, but the nutritionist thoroughly ticked me off and threatened me with stomach feeding!!! Cripes, a thing inserted in your tummy and fed through that in hospital. She gave me some fortified drink things which I can swallow in two gulps and shudder and then have a cup of tea and that seems OK.
This is definitely gonna go on for a few more months, even when the treatment is over, but how I long for a cheese sandwich but it's too vile!! The weird thing is I haven't lost any weight, think I must have a very slow metabolism.
Still coping well with the mask but I'll be glad not to have this awful daily journey, 3 hour round trip, tho I'm driving myself now and enjoying it in a way, less frazzled than when my husband drives, tee-hee, hope he doesn't read this.
I'll be honest, because I couldn't get anything nice to taste, the thought of a cigarette did appeal, but I know it would be a mouthful of stinky smoke, I've been romancing the cigarette again.
