Tim,
Thank you for your words of encouragement for my 7 yr anniversary. I think I know why my wife would not go out to eat with me last night. About 18 months after my treatment we are in this restaraunt and the waitress asked me 2 simple questions. How are you? and would you like bread with your meal? Boy was that a big mistake. I suddenly went on how they screwed my head down on a table shot beams of fire thru my head killing all my salivary glands then if that wasn,t enough they gave me chemo that was like throwing fuel to...... It was at this point when my lovely wife chimed in that I was doing fine and I would pass on the bread. This might be a small exaggeration but I womdered how long do I have to live until HOW ARE YOU means hello again and not this shitty cancer question. You will get there my friend. The day I felt the toughest was the day I finally admitted how weak I was.
P.S. I can eat solid foods just not that great.
