Well, finished with hbo and doc in S.F. says she is pleased with my progress. Hopefully i will get new teeth in abou 5 weeks. I'm able to eat stuff like meatloaf and potatoes which is a lot more than I could say after rads. Had a slice of carrot cake at Peete's coffee in S.F. yesterday. Took plenty of coffee to wash it down but it was great. The gentleman who is a 15 year survivor who is in hbo therapy is having his remaining teeth removed. At least they lasted 10 years longer than mine did, still it's a bummer to realise how this still affects us that far out. I'll take whatever to be still kicking 10 years from now, though.
