Seemed kind of slow on the board over the holiday weekend. One of my highlights of the day is checking the board for new postings. Feels rather good to be within the company of people going through what I am going through. This forum has been the most informative location of anything I've found regarding oral cancer. Went looking for some books this weekend and there's not any I could find on oral cancer. Plenty of books on Breast & Prostate cancer but nothing on our kind. Will keep looking this week. Two days til my radiation work-up and another week to start the radiation. Can't wait to start knowing it will be that much closer to the end. I'm surprised at how much one can heal after 1 month post op. I still need to slow down and not expect everything so soon but i'm learning. Was never used to sitting or napping, was always on the go. Thats the hardest part of healing for me. I still can't sleep more than 1 to 2 hours at a time before waking up. Wondering if I should take some sleeping pills to try and sleep a whole night thru? Thanks for letting me ramble on and I will keep everyone posted after my radaition starts. Love Daniel.
