Just an update. I am scheduled for my feeding tube wed. Will have to stay in the hospital that night and have my first rad treatment the following day at noon. Chemo the 10th or 11th.

Finally getting this show on the road. I've been off since last Wed. Enjoying the baby and taking my oldest to and from school. Funny how this can make you wake up and appreciate life so much.

Maintaining my weight as of now. Pain is still horrible but I've just gotten used to it. May try and up my patch next time I see the doc.

getting nervous the closer it gets. i know the side effects may not come for a few weeks. it's knowing once i start there is no looking back.
