Thank you so much for the update. How encouraging!! I guess I stumbled on your message during a good time. I finished my radiation last week and had my first post-radiation doctor appointment today and took a bit of a tongue lashing for losing weight. So your message just reiterates that I need to work harder on my intake to have the calories needed to get through this. Best wishes for a continued happy and healthy life with your spouse!
