I gained 5.5 lbs. in the past week. Obsessive calorie counting gets the credit. So, no new holes punched and no tubes added. The doc thinks it may take another week or two before the mouth and throat sores go and the taste buds begin to function again, so eating is still a chore, but at least it works, and its not beige liquids! Another doctor (radiation oncologist) on Thursday, and the trips to Baltimore begin to slow down, finally. whew.


Whoa! 5 pounds – That is wonderful. I am so happy that there will be no more feeding tube!
Wow, fantastic news indeed! Would you like to take some of my lbs now:)?
Between the 2 of us, we could have her back at weight! Sort of like donating a kidney, right?
Great news…and I like reading that the sores may lessen in the next couple weeks.
Wonderful news! Cathy, you may be interested in knowing that I received the first canvas thread count and weave report, for a Hugo van der Goes painting in Berlin.
Yippee!
Wonderful news! This is the first time I’ve been able to be happy about somebody else’s weight gain without it being Schadenfreude.
