Good morning all:

I've just registered and take so much comfort from the success stories of others. I've beeen wondering how my recovery is compared to that of other survivors, it seems to me that I've been more fortunate than some others.

I'm six weeks post treatment for SCC, BOT and I received 3 chemo and 35 radiation treatment. At this particular point I'm up all day with good energy and feel great with the exception of alot of mucous. It just seems to run and run. I'm constantly rinsing my mouth with Biotene and soda water without much relief. I am lucky that it's not the stringy mucous that I experienced weeks ago. That was the most horrible experience I thing I've encountered yet. I still have a G-Tube and am taking all my water via it, but started taking all my ensure via mouth about a week ago and am just starting to blend fruit with it as well. I will probably start to take water via mouth shortly as swallowing does not hurt as much now. I also experienced a terrible burn on my neck about a week post treatment that has finally healed.

Any comments on what to expect next would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,


D.
