My pain is worse 3 yrs later and eating is a challenge. It's a force feed for anything, but am down in the 140s again.that is 80 lbs gone but make your hubby keep trying. Maybe he has scar tissue and rad burns that won't improve but could get worse. As my Oncologist told me to get used to it and go on like yu have been.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
