Hi Chris

My partner Steve finished his treatment 2 days after you and we are both more than ready mentally to take on life again. Unfortunately physically it's not going to happen. From what I can see the mucus is a major issue. Steve just seems to cough it up from no where and today there was blood in it. But his throat is pretty raw at the moment from the treatment that it's no wonder. Hang in there Chris. We are following along just behind you in the recovery period. All of us will get through this difficult time.

Wendy
