Congradulations Len,

The hardest part I think is now. Each of us is different but when going through treatment you are acting in a positive mode. (fighting the cancer)
You should rest as much as possible. Take alot of naps and give your body time to heal. When thinking of improvements think in terms of weeks not days. It is a very slow process. I am 8 weeks post rad and still using the PEG tube to eat. I have a restricted mouth opening but I am working on expanding the opening.
Did you have IMRT radiation or field radiation?
Did you have any surgery?
You should start out eating alot of soft wet foods. It depends what your mouth will tolorate.
They say your taste will return but it may take several weeks or months.

This is all for now Len, Good luck in the playoffs. Did you like the way the Packers got in? I sure did!!!

Your Friend, Dan
