Hi,
Thanks for the congrats and the Happy New Year. Kevin went through the very same thing 3 weeks ago. Thanksgiving he ate like crazy with very little pain and just a bit of meds, then a week later he was back to eggs and oatmeal WITH pain meds every 4 hours. We were worried too, but they said it was normal. He's eating a wider variety of foods now, but still softish stuff with only a bit of pain meds. He also has the swelling under his chin and on the right side of his neck. I guess that's normal too. He's down 51 lbs now, but is going back to Alaska tomorrow. I am a basket case but not showing it. Will break down after I drop him at the airport. I can't imagine the next 2 weeks without him. Many, many miles away.
I didn't even look at the date of your post. Have you been to the Dr or were they closed until tomorrow?
