Welcome! Dan was pretty sick after 8 weeks of chemo/rad and felt a bit worse the next two weeks. He has not worked since his radical neck dissection on Christmas eve. He used his PEG for 6 months and still lost about 30 lbs. He is now working thru eating soups and other things very slowly and it's harder because he really cannot taste anything...just can smell it. He is doing so much better now about 3 1/2 months post treatment, but it is a long, hard process.
Take care,
Debbie
