Radiation Duration Increased

Yesterday I saw my oncologist for the weekly check-up. I mentioned how I had only six days to go. NOT! He said he'd scheduled me for an additional five days, but he did not inform me of that change: 30 days of treatment instead of 25. . .drat!

I am so tired of chewing gum non-stop as it's difficult to hold gum in the mouth and not chew it. The right side of my face is red--like a sunburn, but no really bad effects beyond the dry mouth.
