Wayne, Sounds tough to me! Wow, and you are doing this good, im so proud of you, i didnt even start to go through what you did, it amazes me all the different places this cancer hits, its really scarey if you think to much about it! I was a minor case and thank my lucky stars everyday. When i found out, i had read alot on where to get treatment and i did read on Canada. I had heard it was a great place "Tom Baker Cancer Center" but as you know im here in Houston, Texas so M.D. Anderson is in my backyard! Which is a great place too. We are lucky to be able to have a place that knows so much about Cancer. I dont know how you ever went without a tube, and you just kept eating and drinking, im impressed!!!
