An Update.
I know that you still continue to "cook" after the rad treatments are over so does anyone have any good nutritional recipies made with real food that you can blend and drink?
Going to check out GNC to see what protein powders they have - looking for all kinds of ideas. I saw a post of Sash's regarding Mass XXX - Thanks Sash.
I hope all of you are doing well and are happy. Take care all of you. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the great recipe, sounds like it has everything you need! Also, sounds like you were put through the wringer as far as treatment goes. Glad you are finished and getting on with it. Thanks again for the recipe, I'll print it and we will give it a try.
Take care of yourself and keep on keepin' on!0 -

i asked for the surgery afterwards i wanted everything cleaned out and tested.
I researched and asked for the max treatment i could get.
I told them i didnt care about quality of life issues that they could cut the bottom half of my head off and i would wear a darth vader helmut with a feeding tube if it increased my chances. I have a 3 year old son i want to be around for . i kept asking them to up the doses of chemo and radiation if they could. One thing i did that no one seems to do is i got set up to give myself IV fluids at home
they just left the little needle thing in my port (we would change it every week)and gave me some flush kits and fluids and i did extra fluids at night at home in those horrid weeks the last 2 of radiation and the weeks after. The feeding pump helped also. I could pump food and water in me while sleeping.0
