Hi Amy,

Right now, they are thinking that the thick, stringy stuff isn't going to last long beyond radiation. He's got 6 treatments left (not that I'm counting or anything :rolleyes: )

How long post RT did John struggle with this problem?

Yesterday, Dan started to have really icky, smelly brown stuff come out of his nose. They said it was dead tissues and cells and stuff. It scared the heck out of him.

And, he's been off the thrush medication for 1 day and now it's back again! This is a road so full of ups and downs. Sunday he was doing good...yesterday, not so good.

Marcus

I'm glad your feeling better. I understand it takes awhile for all for all of the energy to return. And, it's good that you are starting to eat foods--even if they are limited. I hope you will keep posting about your progress.

Thanks again for the help,


Margaret
