Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. Very busy at work but here is a progress report on my hubby's recovery. He is getting more taste back each day. His menu has expanded quite well. We can go to restaurants and he finds things to eat. I am so grateful. HE still has to nap or lay down in the middle of the day but he is working around that. He sees some clients in the morning when he has some energy and then does some work at home in the afternoon. Goes to bed by 9:30 but each day is a bit better. If we get a clean PET scan in November then we are going to plan a vacation for the late spring or summer. So life begins again. We are still wondering what the "new Normal" will be.
Again I want to say how grateful I am to all of you for being so supportive during this difficult time. I only hope and pray that I will be here as a survivors wife and not as one who is talking about a recurrence. What is the percentage of that anyway.

Bless all of you.
