    Hey Denise, I know how hard it is to eat and drink, my first cancer was in my neck and I had trouble swallowing, but you got to do it. You will feel better trust me.... keep fighting Vinny

    One day closer to finishing all this, Denise :).
    I would share John's fish with you but Sue and he have
    probably already eaten it ;).

    Hang in there...
    Hi Denise,
    Hang in there dear lady! Once you get through this rough patch, you will start to feel better. I hate forcing myself to eat when I don't feel good, but try remember your body needs nourishment in order to give you strength to keep fighting and healing. Eat jello, soup, milk shakes, etc...anything you can get down will help. Keeping you in my prayers.
    Much love...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)
