Hi Liza,

I sent you a PM before I read this post - and I missed the fact that you'd already had a neck dissection - so sorry if my PM sounds like I haven't paid attention to what you have been through!

Stay optimistic - radiation and chemo are not too bad. For the first two weeks you will wonder why anyone complains, then the impact gradually builds for the following six weeks until you then start feeling a bit better about two weeks post treatment. I know that no two journeys are the same but I got through radiation and chemo (the first time) with no feeding tube and no residual problems. The second time was a way different story and I hope that you never have to take that path!

I'm happy to speak to you over the next few days but after that I'm told I won't be talking for a while!

Wishing you all the best.

Gabe,
Thanks for your good wishes. What a pity that we're all living so far apart!
