well, home health care just came and went - JC is now attached to a gravity feed bag, tho he will still be eating what he can, i feel a little better about him getting what he needs now nutrition wise!!
i have heard nothing but positive things about the IMRT and am glad to hear that from you too gary. and the fact that your taste is coming back fairly fast is really encouraging.
when they did the neck dissection on jc they also removed his right tonsil (tho it came back clean) and that was the hardest part of the whole surgery was the removal of the one tonsil, and the most painful for him. (personally mine were removed when i was 6 and that was soooo long ago i dont remember it now - plus it is alot easier at a young and tender age)
i know there are going to be ALOT of other issues in the next few months to come - thank you all of being here...your angels from above!!!!
