I also look pretty good right now, so people have trouble believing that I still have issues. I can usually manage eating at home, because I can take my time. This cancer certainly sucks, even when you are doing fairly well. On the plus side, I saw both of my oncologists yesterday, and they feel that I am doing well enough that I don't have to go back until November, unless I have some problems in the meantime.
