I'm not quite there yet, but am working on it. It's difficult to imagine things improving to a level that I will acutally be capable of enjoying... things that are sugar heavy hurt my teeth at times so I avoid them... at one time I could sit down and eat an entire half-gallon of ice cream... ah, the memories! I lost around 60 pounds during radiation, was hydrated in clinic several times... without PEG by choice... but later discovered it was coming anyway... whether I wanted it or not! I'm hoping to get rid of it within the next couple of weeks. Wife and I going Amtrak to NYC for a week next month...the coldest time of the year. Take care, and thanks for the input... I can use all the help I can get... see my post under insurance and financial concerns, please.
