Okay, since we are being honest about our anxieties, I will also mention that sometimes Dave, who had a right neck dissection, has lower back pain which totally flips me out and has me mentally sending him for a bone scan every time he mentions the pain. The rational side of me is calm enough to notice that he has alot less padding over his coccyx area than he used to and gaining ten more pounds might be helpful.

Here's the part two to my question-has anyone who had had radiation hit sort of a "weight plateau" post treatment within the first year? Dave was eating like a horse a few months ago but that seems to have levelled off and now he's maintaining weight but is still very slim but swears he'll kill me if I come near him with anything that even remotely resembles a supplement. Not to mention that the mere smell of vanilla brings back tube feeding flashbacks...
