Thanx for the welcome.

I forgot to mention it, on the 7th May I had finished radiation (46 sessions, 2x a day) and chemotherapy through the duration (Erbitux). The radiation was harsh towards the end,thought that would kill me. The only side effects from chemo was a rash over my entire body.I itched every day and that is only clearing up now.

On the eating side, I still have issues over that. Its not easy watching my wife and boys eat while i am stuck with fluids. I'll get over it. The worst is getting everyone to understand me, i know that will take time.
