On May 29, 2008 I was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer. I created this blog to share my thoughts and sequence of events for family, friends and others that are experiencing the same "Inconvenience in Life." I have been blessed with a great life full of wonderful experiences, a caring family, a fabulous wife, outstanding children, good friends, and satisfying careers. Each day is truly: Another Day in Paradise.

DAY 65 - Another Day in Paradise
Not much to comment on - First full week of radiation - always had some accident to make me miss a day...so that is good news.
Got a borrowed "donut pillow" to sit on until my bruised tail bone heals. Had x-rays today at the chiropractor and no fractures are present...good news.
Neck is starting to get burned from the radiation - have to put a heavy cream on each morning and night.
Saliva glands not working so well tonight but the aloe vera juice Lise got me made my sore throat practically disappear...that is good news.
I am tired and my butt aches.
