Jam, thanks for the encouragement. Thank goodness I have good friends I can talk to and this forum also. Wouldn't get through this otherwise. I would say he feels 5% better today. I will take that! He still doesn't take anything by mouth. He was before this last chemo so its been 8 days since he has tried anything. That worries me but I am backing off and giving him some space. He just doesn't feel he will get better and I told him he will. It just takes time. He still has so much mucous. Its been 7 wks since our last rad. so I thought for sure this flem stuff would go away. But one thing this forum has taught me is that everyone is different and reacts diffeenty to their treatments. So we're still hanging on...
