Surprisingly well. I have one chemo and two radiations to go. SInce this is a three day weekend, I have three days to heal before the last two bolts hit me.

The chemo has been pretty kind to me so far. Weary, but seem to take it quite well.

I'm planning on staying on the tube feeding for about 10 days after the last treatment before starting to migrate back to real food. I'm thinking that should give me enough time to heal to be able to eat soft foods. As soon as I can get 100% on food, I want to yank this PIG outta here.

My goal is to be on real food 100% by the second or third week of March. When do tastes start coming back? I can already taste sweets (as per Apple Juice), but I'm be curious when food is going to start tasting like food again?
