Nah, they are both irreplaceable.

Hurdle ONE, last few days it has become impossible to swallow anything even water so today at the nurses check up she weighed me and 3.4kg had gone within a week, I was to see the oncologist tomorrow but the nurse got me to see another Dr there within 5 minutes With a flash of his pen I had scripts for liquid Morphine 1-2mls every hr & Fentanyl patches one applied every 3 days woo hoo both very strong pain meds so hopefully things should start to improve. Just 19 more zapping sessions to go now. And to top things off I was ordered by the Dr NOT to talk for the next 24hrs, George is deliriously happy.

Dottie,
Watch those Fentanyl patches... one try turned me into a zombie for 36 hours. And I had ripped it off after 12!
Took the remaining two in the pack to local chemist for safe disposal (or a side income... Just kidding!!!)
Watch the morphine dosage (2%? that's what I had), too. VERY easy to OD!!

Neither of those will help you put weight on would they? Maybe a big steak mashed up?

Tim Tams or Kit Kats always worked for me when I got the munchies. But I suppose that Dot has probably got the opposite of the munchies?
Dot, just watch the dosage of some of that sh** stuff. It does have a purpose in life, but the less time that you are on it, the better.

[Dot]

Reason for me going on that stuff is to give me pain relief so I can swallow. Haven't been able to even get water down the throat is so painful. Even if I have the PEG tube directly into my stomach I still have to swallow (spit) because if I don't I may never get that function back. See what the man says tomorrow.

We are sorry for encouraging you to talk, we enjoyed the catch-up but gave you more pain to deal with as a result, hearing about your story with the medical profession is not good.

I really don't know what to say, feel for you & wishing you a great outcome, wonder if the treatment is burning your throat ?
The travelling back & fro is tiring in itself, stay strong & positive.
