I do not think any other nodes were involved. I'm due for 15 more treatments but this weekend has been real tough. It will be just a few days when I will not be able to swallow and my esophagus is fried. I've lost all taste even sweet and sour. I will always wonder when recurrence 4 will be around the corner. You have all helped me a lot and guided me through my first 2 battles.I am disappointed in myself but this quality of life for me now is not worth continuing the radiation treatment. Many of you have been here I know....but I do not want to loose what little ability I have to enjoy the rest of my life. Thanks for your support Steve Hurlock
