Hi Billy

Things will get better. The most important thing is to get to cancer free. So you just have to stay the course to get to there. Your body will heal and relearn. I had a full glossectomy neck dissection forearm flap etc and I'm ack to my old life- My speech is very hjarbled but its getting better. Eating is pretty much back too everything except for certain foods- (although I am a very very un-unusual case in that regard m drs. say). Everything will improve

Eyes on the prize. You DO NOT want to die from this awful disease if you don't have to. Fighting this is easier than succombing believe you me.

Many people living with terminal cancer would give sell soul to have a chance to just live - so when the going gets tough- think of them and how you have the opportunity to get through this and live life. That is how I got through - keeping that important fact in mind.
