saw radiologist today and he did a scope plus CT scan yesterday. tumor has shrunk and his throat looks good except for epiglottis is raw.

He continued to tell them that he does all the nutrition he should though they know the truth. You don't lost 60 lbs in 2.5 months doing the correct nutrition.

He has never had his taste affected, he barely took pain meds. I call him quite fortunate.

They did say to him that of course he is tired but he's probably seriously lacking in minerals and vitamins from lack of nutrition for so long and told him that he should be trying to eat all the things I've offered and he has refused. Good for him to hear it from someone else but I doubt it sticks.

just thought I would update.
