Today was our 27th day at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Radiation was scheduled at 8:45 this morning, followed by a meeting with Dr. Gullett and Kathy McLaine at 9:50 a.m..
Dr. Gullet ordered Silvadene to heal the scab on her chin that is bring caused from the radiation mask not fitting Mom is unable to properly use the bite block in her mask for the daily radiation treatments due to the pain. Dr. Gullett brought in a physicist to determine what changes are needed to be made to her mask for her to continue and complete the radiation treatment plan. A Fentanyl patch was added to give mom a long acting Duragesic due mom's pain level is at a nine and Dr. Gullett wants her at no more than a two. Mom is to continue using the Magic Mouthwash before and a salt water rinse directly following each meal.

The only other appointment was her weekly Speach Language Follow Up with Ms. Jennifer Cargile. Ms. Cargile said mom's throat muscles are still working well even though she is in alot of pain. She's able to swollow but it's very painful.
The Charm of the Day
