Finished chemo & radiation on the 13th. Got down to about 145lbs as of the 26th but I've been able to drink more and more Boost since the 13th. Calories are right around 2200 a day for the last 4 or 5 days so I hope my weight starts to go up.

What are peoples experience with the time frame for the "coughing-up slime" to stop?
