    Who hoo! i can completely
    Who hoo! i can completely understand how this feels! I am one behind you, i have 10 left. I was telling my DH in car that tomorrow we go down in single digits! Cannot wait for rads to be over.

    How is your husbad doing? My biggest problem is extreme dry throat and nausea for the pain med.

    Being on this forum has helped me so much going thru these days one day at a time.

    Hi Amy

    He can do it just stay with him and keep supporting him, soon it will be graduation day at the doctor’s office. I can still remember the last day I walked in and the walk back out, what a feeling to know it was over.

    Wishing you the best

    He's doing pretty well,
    He's doing pretty well, considering. He's really tired and has lots of mucus that at times it seems like he's choking on. He's got a suction machine being delivered today, hopefully that will help. Still swallowing water but he's not eating much regular food. He's mostly using the PEG.

    been there

    Ahhhh, the carefree days of single digits and PEG tube eating, it brings back memories.

    Keep the faith, he is almost there, physically it gets harder but mentally it is very doable. Keep drinking (swallowing), get all the rest you need.

    We are cheering for you.
