That plays a huge part in recovery. From some of the things Ive seen you post on FB, you are an excellent cook! Ron is a lucky lucky man, you are a very good caregiver!!!! Try not to get too concerned about his lack of energy. I have alot of ups and downs too. Over the summer I was sick off and on for 3 months. Some days I feel ok but dont have much stamina so its a couch day for me. It comes and goes and Ive finished my treatments 4 years ago. For Ron, he only finished radiation a little over a year ago, plus he had a recurrence. It can take up to 2 full years for a complete recovery from radiation treatments. Hope tomorrow is a better day!
