Mike and Ginny - Welcome to OCF. Congratulations on finishing your treatment. Well done! Now you can start that long, slow rebuild process - finding your 'new normal'.

Mike, push hard on getting the swallowing going again. Slow and steady, no heroics, but no days off either. The battle isn't over yet for you. You gotta still push the calories and fluids.

You two can really make a big contribution to this site. I hope you will share your experiences with us and reach out to others here too. You are part of the OCF family now. You can help us battle this monster. We win this battle one household at a time. I just got a clean scan on my three year anniversary out of treatment. You are on your way too. Be strong, Tom J
