Thank you both for your messages, it is encouraging to see someone with the same stage diagnosis that many years out and doing well. I am so happy for the both of you. An additional thanks to you Danny for telling me that your sense of taste returned, I read that to my husband, as he is so concerned about never tasting food again. It made him feel better and gave him some hope. We go Tuesday for simulation and make arrangements for the PET, then he is to start radiation towards the end of the week. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions and concerns after his treatment starts.
