Today Ernie finished day 6 of his radiation. We were told that he probably would not suffer any effects until treatment 11, but could start to be symptomatic by the 7th treatment. Being the overachiever that he is, Ernie is already getting the dreaded mouth sores. This means spicy foods, acidic foods and citrus flavors are off the list of menu options. The intersection of foods that he can taste and foods that he can tolerate is getting pretty small.
Tomorrow the Gehr's return for another visit. We are going to try one of the deli's on "Corn Beef Row." Perhaps we can find something there to tempt Ernie.
