    Hi Matt,

    You sound pretty good to me; swallowing, tasting & working, a triple treat for a fellow H&N warrior. Enjoy yourself and keep getting better and clean scan next week.

    Best,

    Matt

    Certainly
    as already said, you certainly appear to be doing very well. to be 6 weeks swallowing, working out, tasking and much more is very impressive.

    continue to remain positive and believe the scan will be fine and it will be.

    your status amazes me
