Hey, Eric! So good to hear from you again! I'm getting back into visiting the board more often as I found I missed it....and when Tom starts feeling blue, I need to read what is going on in everyone's life to cheer me up smile
The Weight Gain sounds AWESOME! I can happily say that Tom is up to 142 from his low of 127, but heis relying on the tube for 99% of his nutrition. He chokes on most things he eats, and if he can get things down, it takes him so long to eat that he gets bored and CRANKY! the doc told him to be patient (but he forgot to whom he was addressing that order)!

GET YOUR REST!!! The cancer will LOVE it if you let yourself get run down! Keep that immune system strong --especially until you have the external stress factors raging!
Loved seeing your posts again!
