3 months out now and had my 1st CT scan today and it's clean...NED

It's always been a nagging thought in the further reaches of my mind that things have been too easy for me through this whole process and some bad news awaits around the next corner. But a big sigh of relief today.

My recovery from treatment has been a swift and steadily progressive journey. My only complaints are a bit of dry mouth and still being quite sensitive to spicy food. I started feeling better within a week of finishing treatment. I can eat most anything (that is not spicy), I've been back at work for 2+ months now, yesterday I ran 3 miles, I feel great.

A word of encouragement to those who are in treatment or just starting this painful journey, here's hoping your path is similar to mine. Cheers

Jimbo

    Yay
    This is the kind of good news that never gets old. It brings joy every time. Glad you got such a favorable report. Hope you keep on recovering well. I'm seven months out, and am still sensitive to spicy foods - but can now eat mild salsa (couldn't eat catsup at first), so I'm sure you'll be able to eat more soon. There's a lot of spicy food where you live, isn't there?
