Nicki -- glad to hear Tom is doing better... I can relate to the queasiness, and can't wait for my latest bout to subside...

You guys sound a lot like us. We bought a juicer a few months ago and have been pursuing the best organic "goodies" to eat and juice as well... Every little bit helps... I do think diet has a big role in propping up the body to fight well and live healthy... Of course, right now getting anything down at all is a major victory. I did try some pizza this afternoon for lunch -- great tasting but too greasy...

You asked me earlier about why I didn't have chemo the first time around with radiation. At that point, I was even on the border, according to my docs, of even needing radiation at all (T1/T2). They told me if I endured radiation alone, my chances of getting cancer again would drop to something like 5 percent. Of course, they didn't radiate my whole neck and that was the culprit of this latest bout.

Apparently, there were some recent study results (within past few months) that supported using chemo and radiation together to help decrease rates of recurrence and increase survival. It's no fun but I'm all for living longer and lowering my risk of a "three"-currence...

Give Tom my best and tell him to keep up the eating and feeling better!!
