Hi Friends,

I don't know if I should say anything about my radiation treatment because after 19 treatments I haven't had any bad side effects yet! I only have 11 treatments left. I am having IMRT so I think that makes a difference. I had a minor sore throat last week but this week I hardly notice it. Makes me wonder if their doing it right. I was expecting all the bad things I read about for the last three months. I have gained back all the weight I lost after the surgery almost 30 lbs. I started out around 150 got down to 121 after the surgery and am back to 148 now. I am inputting 8 to 10 cans of jevity with carnation instant milk mixed in along with weight gainer fron GNC. I also input Gatorade & water four times per day which equal 1000cc. The only negative thing is I'm not yet eating anything through my mouth. I thought I will start eating after the radiation is finished. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all continues to go well. Your friend Dan
