Jim, great job at your radiation treatment success!!! You are young so will have an easier time than most. Are you getting chemo too? Seems like the people who dont get chemo w/ rad also get thru it easier. Hang in there, things might get difficult at anytime. Being prepared never is a bad thing. Keep up the good work smile

Kenny, hang in there. Of your mouth is bad, ask for magic mouthwash, its a real lifesaver. Talk to your docs about the peg tube. Hope things level out for you.
