I too am having a hard time post Tx. I thought that once rad and chemo was over it would be smooth sailing. Boy, was I wrong. My wife, who is also my hero, kept telling me that it would be tough for awhile after Tx but I wouldnt listen. Well, she was right. I didnt think to read in this forum until today. I see that Im not the only one struggling to heal. I am able to eat by mouth and I thank God for that. The fatigue thing is what gets me the worse. I too could nap all day if my wife would let me but she wont. When she isnt here I have to literally force myself to get out of bed. I thank each of you for your posts because it showed me that I am right on track with the rest here. I do have 1 more surgery scheduled for the 25th of this month to remove the tumor on the left side of my neck and possibly a neck disection.


Dx Mar 07 with Base Of Tongue Stage IV. IMRT 35x with 3 doses Cysplatin ran concurrent. Tx ended May 31,07. Left and right node involved. Radical neck disection 7/18/07
