Dan,
First of all I am impressed with how prepared you are. I did not discover OCF until I was about finished with treatment. Secondly, I am impressed that the nursing staff spent so much time with you. At MD Anderson the techs were always so busy running folks in and out of radiation that they had no time to say more than hi and bye.

My sessions were also very brief, averaging about 10 to 15 minutes each. Enjoy eating everything that you can now. As you have heard, things will change in two or three weeks and swallowing will become very difficult. You have reminded me, like Gary, of what it was like to go through the process. It sounds like you are being well taken care of. Best of luck and please keep us informed about your progress.
