Deano - Hydration for sure, and as many calories as you can manage. But my biggest regret was not keeping my jaw active - stretching it DAILY and with 'vigor'. I lost a great deal of jaw motion from the IMRT, and didn't realize it. Get a Thera-Bite and use it till it hurts. Get a script for physical therapy to keep your neck and jaw loose.

Dead man walking? Not hardly. I'm three years out and doing great. Each time this thing knocks you down, you get up again. Keep getting up. Lots of us have done it. You will too. Be strong. We are with you. Tom
