I won't say my pain just lasted a few weeks. The rad and chemo burns have been getting worse daily for 4 years, but you know what... I am ALIVE and being the normal ornery JIM. Just don't give up and think positive. It's well worth whatever you go thru to be here.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
