I can't believe I'm actually typing this. He did it. He finished his treatment today. I'm so very proud of him. I know we have soooo much work ahead of us, but I am savoring this victory just for today. The RO and his nurse sat us down and gave us "the talk" about the long recovery and about not getting impatient and discouraged. I think this will be the biggest struggle for my husband.
We are supposed to make an appt. with the Swallow/Speech therapist now that he's done. I can tell he's not too thrilled about that. I somehow have to make him understand that this is VERY important and he truly needs help. His swallow wasn't very good to begin with because of the location of the tumor on the base of his tongue. it was weak and he couldn't control thin liquids and would choke.

Anyway, just wanted to share my happiness with all of you and thank you for your advice and support. You know I'll be on here constantly, still. We've got a tough road ahead of us, still and I'll have questions, as usual.
