Back to it

Another Monday down, only two more of these to endure.  It has been a while since I have posted, mostly due to my lack of an internet connection up at the lake.  The other factor was the fact that I have been exhausted.  Been doing quite a bit of sleeping and not much else.  I would say that I am surprised with just how tired that I feel  on a daily basis.  I start out in the morning usually feeling pretty good, but at some point in the morning I seem to hit a wall.  The weekend consisted of lots of napping.  
As far as how I am feeling, I am doing ok.  My throat continues to worsen on the left side.  The inside of my mouth is also feeling worse, not really specific sores or anything, just a general funky feeling.  It is also drying out more and more and I have a nasty taste that seems to linger in my mouth pretty much all the time.  Taste in general is gone, at least the normal tastes that I am used to.  Sweet foods are tasting strange and leave my mouth with an additional nasty feeling.  The skin on my neck that is subjected to the radiation is starting to show the burn from all of the exposure.  Also the back of my head that get the exit dose of radiation is losing hair.  That's not that big of a deal since I sport a bald head anyway, just thought it was worthy to note.  Today was the first Monday where I just didn't want to go to radiation.  I guess it is just wearing on me, but I am just over two weeks away from finishing the actual treatments.  Just a quick note today to update my status.  Tiredness has taken hold.
