Half way home

Hi Folks,

Sorry I haven't been on the past 2 weeks, as it turns out the internet server here was blocking this website (and a few others) inadvertently. After finally figuring out the problem was not with my computer, it was easily rectified.

I am almost at the 1/2 way point in my treatment: 3 weeks of 7 RAD is complete and the 2nd of 3 chemos is this week. So far so good. I have a little difficulty in swallowing, but can still eat 'soft foods' and have maintained my weight so far. The taste is off, but not too much. The dry mouth has not been too bad yet. I guess I don't have much to complain about for now. I think this week with the 2nd chemo boost will be a real test, after that I will be more than 1/2 way home and hope I will be feeling as good next week as I do this. Cheers.

    Drive on
    Jimbo, good job. Keep it up. Sounds like in addition to doing well physically you are alright with everything in your mind as well. Big part of this fight. Good luck and keep it up.

    Keep up the Good Work
    Jimbo,

    Sorry you couldn't get on the site. I know how frustrating that can be (and how addictive this site can be - all the info and support).

    Hoping the second half of treatment goes smoothly for you

    1/2 way is HUGE!
    Jimbo,
    Keep going...the days get crossed off the calendar and the body keeps fighting. We can count down with you.
