Thanks much, Christine! In fact, I just completed major oral surgery 3 weeks ago and that was and still is a major blow to quality of life. Can't eat, talk, swallow, sneeze, without pain. PEG feeding tube exclusively now. Fighting weight loss especially because I don't take any simple sugar and simple carb foods.
Staring radiation this Monday, Nov. 17th.
