I sent you a message (I think it was under the private post).

My husband's radiation doctor was Dr. Saxton also. Who did you have for your ENT and chemo doctors?

Dr. Saxton is a stickler (sp) for not losing weight. My husband sees the ENT every six weeks and the chemo doctor almost as often. He sees Dr. Saxton again in a couple of weeks. My husband has been back to cycling (bike) since April so he hasn't gained any weight back. The ENT cannot believe he is back riding. The ENT just smiles and shakes his head in disbelief. My husband tries to ride five times a week. He rode 84 miles last Sunday.

Dr. Saxton treated someone I work with at over 13 years ago - he had a T4 no lymph node involvement so did not have chemo. Sounds like Dr. Saxton has a great success rate.

I went to every Radiation treatment with my husband and stayed with him in the hospital during his chemo treatments (96 hours - twice). I saw the patients everyday and now understand what the radiation nurse meant when she said that "THESE ARE STRONG PEOPLE TO GO THROUGH THIS TREATMENT".

I am glad to hear that you are going well.
