Larry, recovery from OC and its brutal treatments takes a very long time. We all recover at our own pace, it cant be rushed or put on another person's timetable. A complete recovery takes a full 2 years. Radiation continues to work even after the treatments stop. Ive heard from a few on here recovery takes a month for every week of rads the patient has. Next time your doc is comparing you to other patients and how their recovery went, ask him exactly how many OC patients he has treated. To me it doesnt sound like this doctor has enough compassion for the suffering of OC patients.

Im glad your therapist understands and isnt pushing you too hard. As you know aspiration can cause serious problems and is very common for OC patients when they are relearning how to eat. With your history Im surprised your doc is trying to rush your recovery.

The rash is not common to show up 3 months post rads. Most of us had a red sunburn like area from the rads but this showed up during rads, not after. You probably should check this with your doc to rule out a reaction to something or anything serious.

Hang in there, you are doing your best and thats all anyone can expect. Most patients want to get well and get easily frustrated with their progress. Your body has been thru so much and it takes time to rebuild itself. Dont sweat it, in time you will get there.



PS... Try adding high protein whey powder to your feedings to boost your protein intake. Protein helps to speed healing.
