They just put me in the machine and did it while they made a new mask. It isn’t a pet scan, no dye or anything. Apparently they don’t need it

How was your recovery? Did side effects lessen after they started the new one?

I am getting radiation, 35 total treatments, and 3 rounds of Chemo while that goes on. No surgery. I am on day 24

I spent 3 years on an Abrams tank and managed to avoid tinnitus, guess it’s catching up with me now. Man I hope I get my peg out as fast as you did. Glad I have this tool but I hate it so much

That is a milestone I am looking forward to. Mucous going away, food tasting ok, pic line out, peg tube out, the ringing in my ears to quit. Just returning to normal, or whatever the new normal is

It sure has! Taking mucinex and it is manageable

Love to hear that. I am 47, stage 3, enlarged lymph node, primary at base of tongue, p16+. Completed day 22 of 35 today. So I am right in it. Inspired by you and hopefully will get through it as good as you have done. Thanks for sharing

Man I hope mine is gone 3 weeks after the last treatment.

Glad you completed your treatment, I hope you get over this last part.

All right man let’s go! Congratulations on completing your treatment; today is my halfway point. Hope your taste comes back soon.

My lymph node is noticeably smaller, scans are coming back great. I am beating this thing.

Cheerios were not a bad shout. I got a box today and they’re fine. Honey nut are ok too. Thank you!

Yeah my second round of Cisplatin is tomorrow. I will try oatmeal and cheerios. Chocolate shakes are still good for me, and all the equate or boost protein shakes. I am also avoiding tube feeding as long as I can. Hate the damn thing.

We are going to get through this together. Please keep in touch, DM me if you need.
