Almost there...7 more rads to go

           Today is Sat the 10th of March. The last week went unusually fast. The chemo days are behind me. But something strange stared to develop. Usually during chemo days the give me "Emend" the strong anti vomit pills. Since the effectiveness of the of pill is wearing off, I am beginning to have spells of uncontrolled vomit spasm. Its a very strange sensation. Once the spasm starts its difficult to control as it becomes automatic reflex. I found that deep breathing and soothing of the the upper chest muscles helps to calm the spasm down. Warm compress over the stomach also helps. Tried drinking warm water, and that worked too. So the whole of next week I will be facing another challenge. I hope my strategy works to see me through.
          Weight is now down to 79.5 kg. Not a good sign. Diet is almost liquid by now. The neck area is now really burning and black from radiation (like a bad sunburn). Other than that I am in pretty good shape. Will keep all of you posted as I reach the finishing line.
