Just wanted to wish everyone here a happy Thanksgiving. You are all incredible people and words just can't do justice to how thankful I am for your love and support. As I am drinking my meals today I will be thinking on how many of you are doing the same or putting it down the tube and will offer up a prayer of gratitude for the very fact that we are all alive and walking this path together. May you all be blessed with abundance and healing and love today. Happy Thanksgiving my friends.

Bob

    Thanksgiving
    Two years ago on this Holiday I advised the family of my problem- that turned-out to be NPC. What followed was not untypical for us, except for the specifics of my chemo delivery; which, with the complimentary contribution from the rads, turned my mouth into a trainwreck at the end of week #1. For some 7 weeks I was PEG-exclusive for Nutrition, got to know a critter called morph, and live for days with ice bringing so much relief. I'm almost 20-months, now, post-treatment, and there wasn't a single item on the dinner table that I avoided due to my C&R. And, I must inform you, one and all, that Bar-B-Que sauce tastes great on turkey!!! I can only hope and Pray that as many of you as possible can enjoy the meal I did on this day, now, or down the road.

    I need de-cranking..
    As always I am thankful for this forum..I was just having a pity party because I spent so much time cooking what I heard was the best T-giving meal I have made, and I couldn't really taste it! I have to remember a few months ago, I couldn't taste or swallow. Some days the taste buds seem to work better, I wonder why...But I watched everyone else eating with such enjoyment, I should have felt good about the meal, but I didn't I felt cranky.

    Of All the Times
    Why couldn't yesterday have been the lousy taste buds day? Sorry you couldn't enjoy the fruits of your labor. I tasted mostly just fine. I did, however have an "oops" with my sauerkraut balls. Me: "Oh - they're dry - I'm sorry you all" Others: "ummm - no they're not - it's just you" Me: "Well Never Mind". Glad most of them were able to laugh at me.

    Hope it was Great
    Hope you enjoyed the day, Bob. As one who missed out on the feasting last Thanksgiving, I thought of those of you on liquid or tube diets today. Hope you can eat at least as much as I did today next Thanksgiving (for the record, it was quite a lot).

    Liquid meal
    Bob,
    Hey, you've heard of "turkey in the straw", right?? So how was it? Cancer sucks but as long as you can still at least drink, that's a good thing. Hope things get better for you!
