What part of Maine are you from? I lived outside of Bangor for 28 years and my mother and sister still live in Pembroke (right outside of Calais).
I hope that your husband starts to turn the corner soon. It does seem like it is taking him much longer to heal, but it is true that we all heal at our own pace. I still have some radiation sores on my tongue and I am 15 months post radiation.
Take care,
Minnie

One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
