Well I�ve made it half way through radiation (17 out of 35). Can�t taste much and have the bad metallic taste going but have been able to maintain my weight. No real pain yet, hope that keeps up.

Wanted to send a special thanks to all on this board. I am so much better prepared then anyone else with OC at my CCC. They look to me for tips and I keep pointing them at this board, but they seam to keep looking to the guy with the free info, so your advice is filtering down to many.

Doctor says I am handling all the treatments as well as can be expected and likes my attitude (thanks to EZ JIM ERIC and DAVID) I�m keeping it light.

Wish me luck on the second half.
