9TH ZAPPING AND EFFECT IS NOTICEABLE

9th ZAPPING and 16 to go thats what happened yesterday at the MOUNT MIRIAM HOSPITAL. After the morning trackwork,barrier trials and finishing the video script for the coming PNTC DEC GOLD CUP MEETING with the CCTV Dept head MR GUAY,i headed for my daily ZAPPING.The 9th and i could feel that the side effects are coming as my mouth,tongue and throat is starting to get dry.Drink plenty of water is the advise given by everybody,That's easier said than done as drinking with dry mouth conditions is tough.THE MOUTH RINSE AND GARGLES PRESCRIBED IN A WAY HELPS A LITTLE.I realised now that since my treatment started in early AUGUST i had not tasted any food with the real taste,just eating and drinking with FLAT and METALLIC taste during CHEMO and now with RADIATION, the taste is just totally flat,no salt,sweet or sour just one FLAT TASTE FOR ALL FOOD AND DRINKS.One thing for sure when this is all over, i really look forward to eating and drinking with taste.So the theory that RADIATION is a "walk in the park" compared to CHEMO is not all that true.Yes not that hard but nearly and its only the 9th ZAPPING.What else is coming.With CHEMO you get used to the effects as its the same every cycle,but with RADIATION it changes by the day.FAMILY AND FRIENDS KEEP PRAYING that i have the strength to overcome the side effect and that the treatment moves along with GODSPEED .INSYAALLAH.GOD BLESS AND AMEEN.
