I know A.A has a saying one day at a time. With this cancer it can be literally one minute at a time. I remember the roller coaster of the emotions very well. I kept a diary every day from the time I was diagnosed. Sometimes I think it helped with my anger but other times I also took it out on the ones I loved the most. Thank God I also had a wife that was a saint and stuck with me the whole process. I couldn't have survived this without her. As far as the food I just tried every thing I could come up with. Some things that worked for me didn't work for other people. I would sit and before I ate and try and pshyc my mind up to tackle the task ahead. Kind of a mind over matter deal. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. People don't realize what a blessing it is to have normal taste, siliva, mouth ,throat.ect.ect. If the geenie and his bottle walked in my door right now you would be the first recipient of my wishes. I think about you and your struggles every day. Hang in there try and stay positive. 6 inches of snow Sat. 4-5 more tomorrow that really sucks Tim
