Thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate the feedback. After reading your messages, I feel better and more encouraged already! It's been 2 weeks since he finished the treatments and he's doing pretty good. He's even going back to the gym, but using light weights. He lost over 30 lbs. and he didn't have that weight to lose. I'm trying to keep his nutrition level high, but it's difficult because his throat is so sore and even the protein drinks tend to sting his tongue. It is getting a little better though, baby steps, but that's OK. After reading what some people have gone through, I almost feel guilty complaining at all. Thank you again, and may God Bless all of you!!
