Hey Wayne, Im sorry to hear about the pain on the opposite side, what did they say that was from? And you said "no taste yet", does that mean you have tried to eat? Wow, im so impressed with everyone that can do that, i have some kind of mental block on eating!!! How long have have you been completed with Radiation? How many treatments did you have? Where was you SCC ? Did you have treatment in Canada? Keep in touch and let me know, if you dont mind me being sooo nosey!!! Hope the therapy works!
