Thank you so much Liz!

I've been learning more and more each day thanks to the site and all the forum posts. I'll keep you posted as to how things are going.

Right now we are in a holding pattern, managing the throat pain and we await his blood counts and throat to stabilize enough to have the PEG inserted.

This really should have been done prior to starting his treatment but I suspect he chose not to go that route.....

Anyhow, I take it one day at a time. Some days are better for him than others but he is showing more positive signs at this point though today was rougher than yesterday. His throat and mouth are still healing and as you know new blistering can occur as much as 2 to 3 weeks out from the last radiation treatment.... So it's been a bit tough for him sisnce it seems to get worse before it gets better. I think we are at the turning point now though.
