We are now in round II or radiation and round I of cysplatin chemo after surgery. Your thoughts and ideas are wonderful and I will keep them in mind when we get to the point where she can try to eat. Right now it is tube feedings only. She is trying to swallow water, but is having much difficulty. Thank you again for the positive outlook, it is inspiring ! -Betty
