Barbara,

While Michael's rate of recovery may seem slow to him, it sounds as though it's actually much faster than many others here (including myself) experienced. He's certainly eating foods that I couldn't even attempt at that point. On the few occasions when we tried to venture out to eat in the first couple of months after my radiation, I was also very self-conscious about my struggles with food, and I always tried to be sure we had an out-of-the-way table where I wouldn't be noticed too much. Patience is the key word here -- he can expect much more healing than what he has seen in just two months, but it will likely take many more months to get there.
