Hi Jeff. You have indeed had a run of bad luck. I've never heard of nodes being lost before. I suppose the treatment would have been the same though with the lack of a clear margin on part of the bone.
It seems to me to be a good sign that you're eating okay.

I can sympathize with the slow healing of the skin donor site. It seems to be one step forward and two back with that one. But one day it will a piece of baby pink skin.

Rads and chemo are challenging but you will be well looked after, will get into a routine and wonder where the weeks have gone. When you are actually IN that tunnel you just put your head down and keep going. Staff in those centres are well trained to look after the needs of RT patients. You can develop such a good relationship with them that it blunts the sharp edges of the treatment and side effects.

Best wishes
