hello digtex,

I am only 4 years out and clear. But i do have a couple of things to add. I have developed pain in my neck due to fibrosis, it is 4 on 10 now but going in the wrong direction. I will go to a pain specialist at UCI in Southern CA in a few weeks and will post results. I also still aspirate food to my nose, not a significant amount, just a bit. The weight thing gives me a chuckle, let me explain. I lost about 45 lbs during treatment, I was very fit before. I wanted to get the weight back on. I call a a weightlifting supplement place. They turned me on to "Russian Bear 5000"
. 5000 cal a day! i used it for a while then switched to a product called metrex, it is about 1000 cal. Over the 4 years since TX I have not gained much weight and struggle to stay over 160 and I eat alot of food/cal per day
