Hi Tony, I noticed you wrote on my thread. Looks like your doing great so far. Much better than I. I have finished my RAD. 11/22/13. I couldn't eat by mouth at the halfway point and had a PEG put in. My hats off to you for going all the way without one. I was losing too much weight without it. The thrush didn't help either. Your skin seems to be handling it better too. I developed a staph infection and missed 4 days near the end. I did 35 in all. I found that so far the worst times for me were the 5th and 6th week, but it got easier from there. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm talking about me. I'm just trying to show you how much better your doing than I. Hope you keep sidestepping all those potholes. Almost 2 weeks post TX and side effects from the chemo are still haunting me. Waiting for those cheeseburgers myself. Hang in there, Take care.
