It's been two months after treatment. Jim is getting stronger; he tilled the garden and planted eight tomato plants a couple of days ago! He has been having some fairly good days. HOWEVER, this morning he was in terrible pain and sick just like it he was two WEEKS after treatment. It is so discouraging because he thinks things are leveling off and he's on the road to recovery, then he'll have a bad day like this. It is so unpredictable! So I was wondering if you experienced these bad days every once in a while during recovery? And if so, do you know what causes them?

Thanks,
Debbie
