Hi there... I know it's late to say this but I hope you are at a CCC - they are the best place to treat this cancer. Rads and chemo will be hard but push through it and do what you can to help yourself. Slow healing may have a lot to do with circulation and overall health. Up your protein, and eat healthfully - even if it means liquifying your food and drinking it. (this will become harder as you go through treatment. Try to stay ahead of the pain, and get as much nutrition as you can now. Welcome and best of luck.
