    No chemo
    I only had radiation, both times. I questioned the doctor this time, thought for sure I would have chemo with the recurrance, the Tumor Board stated 'more is not necessarily better!' All I know is I will not have anymore Head Neck Radiation, two times is enough for me!

    Hi Teacher

    You done it and made the last day, I am very happy for you as you cross the finish line today.

    This might just be a dancing week, in celebration of both you and Linda

    GroundHog Days
    Congrats on phase one...you are on my identical protocol if I remember correctly.

    This upcoming phase is what I call GroundHogs Day, like the movie....same thing day, after day, after day, after.......

    Just rest, do your treatment each day, rest and continue....you'll quickly learn to love the week-end off.

    It'll be done before you know it...especially once you reach the top of the hill, and start the ride toward the finish line.

    Best,
    John
