Hi Patricia,
Eric finished treatment on 12/31/12 and his experience was very similar to yours. He was greatly discouraged when after two to three weeks post treatment he still didn't see or feel much improvement. His only nutrition was delivered through his PEG tube because his throat was so sore. He was forced to be patient and trust that the improvement so many people felt after two weeks would soon come to him....and it did. We all want a definite timeline of when the bad goes away and the good arrives but everyone is different. I'm happy to report that Eric is steadily improving....we try to celebrate the baby steps. Hang in there!
