Hey Dan,

Just wanted to fire off a note of encouragemet. Seems I've been out of contact, my e-mail service provider took a "vacation" during Chinese New Year, and they should be back in business sometime today or tomorrow. (maybe)

I didn't have to deal with PEG and such, but man, the post treatment depression was something to deal with. At least from chatting with some folks from the board here I knew what it was and was able to cope. Yep, the feeling that "somethings's up" will stay for a while too, last scan I was still as nervous as the first one post treatment.

Guess these feelings of pre-scan fear lessen with time, maybe even the physical post treatment side effects too!! What doesn't help is the cold winter weather. Anyway you would be surprised what activities can cause sore neck muscles, especially if they are on the opposite side of surrgery as we over compensate because of the weakened muscles on the surgery side.

It gets better, really it does.
Take care
Bob
