I have to jump in here -- this is just too much!!! Yep, I eat more slowly than before, but not embarassingly so any more. I can drink soda fine, and some spicy foods, but I just can't bring myself to do Taco Bell . . .

The music during radiation was a game between the techs and me. They were all about 25 years younger than me, so I kept asking for different stuff. One week the Beach Boys, the next Sinatra, etc. Drove them crazy. My favorite was when I asked for Alice Cooper . . .

If you had asked me 7 months ago when I was diagnosed if I would be laughing about radiation treatment today, I would have suggested you see a shrink . . . in a hurry! The mind is an amazing critter . . .
