Nicki,

I'm so glad you can finally see this painful process coming to an end. It's great that Tom is still pushing to get food into his system -- this is about the worst time in the whole treatment cycle to try to do that, but it's essential to keep at it, even when it's excruciating.

I wholeheartedly recommend the R&R plan -- about 5 weeks after I finished radiation, my husband and I took a little trip along the Maine coast and into New Hampshire during foliage season, and it was a great way to start purging the memories of the radiation room.

More prayers coming your way.

Cathy
