It has its ups and downs, that is promised. You can even locate several of my posts where I went off on everyone due to the mental break down the stupid disease and treatment causes. I am doing a bit better today, Oncology was really pleased with what they saw and are really wanting me to focus on maintaining my weight and getting strength back up. I then went across the hall and saw ENT and they as well were please with how my mouth looked and performed a scope and said hardly any mucositis remains in the mouth and back of the throat and should clear up fairly soon. My first post scan has been scheduled for Feb. 7th and then results on the 9th, wish me luck! As well the ENT doctor said he would rather pull the PEG a few weeks later than a few weeks too early, so me and the tube remain for another 6-8 weeks. Later guys!

Your Friend,
