Dear Nicki and Tom,

Congrats on such a significant milestone!! I'm about 5 months post-radiation now, and even though I'm a dentist, and even though my CA center told me what a rough road it would likely be, it still was more difficult than I ever imagined. My recovery has been slower than I would like, but I am getting better. Plus, we're all different, and recover at different rates. I wish for Tom a speedy recovery! God bless you both.
