All of your stories sound familiar. My husband had his last RAD for tonsil cancer at the end of August. He also decided not have a PEG. He survived on Ensure, lost 50 pounds (fortunatly he started out at 240). He had a modified radical neck dissection On Oct. 9.
The doc's are very satisfied that the Cancer is also gone at this point. This weekend he decided it was time to eat, and he did. Last night he ate meat loaf and noodles. He is my hero, he has been so strong and in such good spirits that it has enabled me to be a supportive and strong caregiver. I am impressed with everyone who has shared their stories in this forum. God Bless LM
