Steve,
Don't get too discouraged with the slow recovery. It has been said - and we certainly found it to be true - that it takes a month of recovery for every week of treatment. My husband received 7 weeks of radiation and chemo and, actually, 7 months later he was still very weak, had difficulty eating most foods, etc.

Like you, he was a very active/athletic person before diagnosis. At close to 5 years since his diagnosis, he is back to being the skier and hiker that he used to be. And he is now eating almost anything (except very spicy or very dry foods).

Best to you as you continue your recovery.
Anita
