So far the sea sickness patch seems to be working. It hasn't totally stopped the mucus flow but has made it much more manageable. Yesterday I was able to take in over 2,000 calories and lots of fluids. Having the proper nutrition and hydration really make a difference in how I feel. Hats off to all those people that got sea sick on cruises. Enough to create a market for sea sickness patches. Their sacrifices are greatly appreciated. :-)
On other news the CT Scan to adjust the radiation treatment is scheduled for Friday. I am allergic to the contrast dye that is used during the scan so there is some medication I have to take prior to the scan. Afterwards I will take Benadryl. Once the scan is done it takes about a week to work out the new treatment plan. Once the plan is created it is tested on the machine using water and some special rods, or at least something like that. If I get a chance I hope to ask the radiation techs how that works. I will be interested in the results and hopefully on Monday I can discuss them with the radiation oncologist. The tumors are definitely shrinking and this will provide a measure of how much they have shrunk.
