Just like that...gone

Im sure my bf wouldnt say it quite like that since he was the one with the tumor..but almost 7 months to the day, he is cancer free.  The emergency tracheostomy and feeding tube...gone.  The large tumor in his throat...gone.  There is still a small issue with swallowing but he's up to chicken, steamed veggies and cheesecake....hell he ate a hamburger and hotdog recently...not yet ready for steak and needs lots of sauce to help food go down but I think hes doing awesome.  Some foods taste funny and some too spicy, but that changes daily.  He did his swallow and jaw exercises faithfully. I believe he is where he is overall because he kept his water intake high,  walked every day, applied our skin treatment religiously and let me push him when needed.  Our lives are forever changed and will be on the lookout forever...but for now, we are very very happy.   We couldnt have done it without the help from all of our families and friends.  Good luck to all of you in whatever stage you are in.
