Thanks for all the great advice. I am in the second week and still able to make it to the gym. I am doing the elliptical and some weight, all the time taking controlled breaths while breathing through my nose (kind of like when geting radiation - but that is a whole different story). To date, I have been keeping my weight, eating tons of protein and calories (no meat or milk based foods as per my nutritionist). Throat does not feel bad yet, though I have this funky taste in my mouth most of the time

I have this minor headache starting this week, kind of like a bit of a hangover in the front of my head. I am assuming that it is the radiation. I will keep you all informed of my progress through the next two months.
