Thank you all so much. I sincerely appreciate the encouragement. Tube is in and I'm getting good calories and nutritional intake now. Energy not quite where I would like it, yet! Mask and simulation next week. I am awaiting a call about Hematologist (May be shared on Wednesday during my radiation visit (They all work closely together on tumor boards so probably already on board with TX plan). Had a great and positive visit with speech/swallow therapists this past week and spent afternoon with one of my Granddaughters yesterday. She insisted we "Read Books together," which I got to do a lot of the reading and those books for 4-6 year old's can be challenging for folks like us, but a child holds no prejudices, just unconditional love. Wondering if speech therapist put my Daughter up to that - LOL! Seriously, although I fell asleep on her once it just made my day having her with me. She even helped feed me - Fearless! Great Bob Marley quote, Brian! I'm ready, let's get with it! Thanks all for the support.
