Michael, sounds to me like you are doing wonderful! Truly. You are way ahead of where I was at that point in time. I stopped radiation end of August and at Thanksgiving I still was only trying to get some mashed potatoes down. My back hurt a lot and I had the same scary thoughts, however, the more active I got, the better it was.
You know I will be praying for you Wednesday. I am sure you will do fine......Take Care and let us know.....Love, Carol
