 Joined:  Mar 2008 Posts: 67 |  I am feeling stronger every day.  Amen!  It has now been 9 days since my last IMRT and I am feeling better and better!
 I still find it necessary to get "drugged up" in the morning in order to be able to drink a liter of water and to get my 1st Skandi shake down.  What was the experience of others in working towards getting off of the narcotics?
 
 Also, I am finding myself looking longingly at some of my family members dinners but I know it it to soon to start experimenting with real food.  What do you guys think?
 
 I am feeling better day by day.  My PET CT is scheduled for 8/4/08.  I feel like that is the next big thing to be praying for- a clean PET CT post treatment.
 
 I am also starting to have feelings like I want to get back to work but know that I can't with the narcotics and eating issues.
 
 Does anyone have a comment on any of my list of issues/concerns.  Would love to hear about your experiences.
 
 Have a great day!
   Frank
