I have had my blood checked recently, and it looked real good. I really think it is a matter of patience. I was a runner and cyclist before treatment, and I'm not yet able to resume serious "training". The lack of saliva is a significant barrier, but I recently ordered a Camelbak fluid reservoir that should help me carry fluids with me.
Robert, we must have been on different alternate weeks in the program at U of C, because I finished my last radiation treatment on 2/06/2004. I'm in Winthrop Harbor.We'll have to get together sometime to compare notes.
Thanks again everyone
Chuck
