    Hi> I have off line for the past few days as my wife and I took a short vacation. After having combined chemo and radiation therapy it felt like I was swallowing razor blades each time I tried to eat. This was in August of 98. As I remember the pain lasted for a couple of weeks after which I could (and did) eat like an 18 year old. Drop a line if you want to chat and/or compare notes. Email at "triebold@telocity.com"
