July 16th 2019

   I met with a doctor that was taking the place of Dr. Anderson, don't remember his name, but he was nice. It blows my mind just how many doctors I have met or interacted with at Morristown Hamblen  Hospital that has been top-notch doctors. That and the doctors at Thompson Cancer Survival Center are just as nice. I must be old because most look young to me now.

  Thompson Cancer Survival Center called and though a date is not concrete yet it looks like August 2nd is when they will go after the two in the brain. This will come at the end of the radiation and chemo so it will just fit right in. They are not sure the two are cancer but they will burn them out either way.

I have developed a sharp pain when I eat due to the radiation on the esophagus which is causing spasms when I drink a carbonated drink (Dr. Pepper) or anything that is too hot or too cold. The doctor today gave me some Swish & Swallow to use which should calm it down so eating will not be so painful. I've also developed some bad night sweats, except some, come during the day. I stay tired and I've been sleeping a lot lately. Tomorrow I will do bloodwork and then it will be gone over Wednesday before chemo.
