Hi Everyone!

Thanks to all of you for your response. I wish everyone the best of luck. Talking with everyone here has been very inspirational. Hopefully here in the next two weeks my father will start the recovery process. He will be finished with radiation next friday. Then they are going to do the CAT scans, what happens after that is yet to be determined. What I don't understand is why his doctors wouldn't insist on a feeding tube because I did call all three of his doctors and express my concerns on his weight but they just told me that this was all part of the process but the would keep a close eye on his weight. In the last week he did get his voice back. Is that a side effect to the radiation? The sores are slowly healing. I can tell hes feeling better this week because he has been real chipper. Ive told him about this website. I bought him a computer last week but hes just learning how to get online and can't type very well but he sure seems to be enjoying it. He was so bored of watching tv all the time in between doctors appointment so I thought the computer would be entertaining to him. Maybe in the near future he will try this forum.

Have a Good Day Everyone
Take Care
