I'm kinda new to the In Treatment forum, so just read your thread to familiarize with all you have gone through. It looks like it's been quite a journey so far, with a few potholes along the way.
But reading yours has given me new reasons to continue choking down the food as best I can even if it is only Ensure and no other food. Likewise maintain the water consumption.
I'm a little jealous you are so close to finishing the rads, I still have 15 more to do.
Take care, looking forward to reading about you in Post Treatment forum.
