I have lost a few more pounds lately. People just don't think! My own sister said to me, "Edgar and I think you look so much better a little heavier"! Well now, being that swallowing is very hard as the radiation closed my throat a little, and I don't have much saliva, eating is difficult and I find no pleasure in it. I also find myself a little depressed and that also affects my eating. Did she mean to hurt my feelings? No, people just don't understand. That is why I joined this site, I feel so alone in my fight and recovery. I pray it gets better as I want to enjoy my life to the fullest.
