I just wanted to share with everyone that my treatments are finally done. I finished my radiation and chemo this week. As you all know, it has been a very hard long road. I am excited that I can get on with getting better and recovering from the Radiation.

My tongue hurts badly right now from the Rad burning me there, but I hope in 2 weeks that subsides. I have heard that the hair may or may not grow back, either way, I would gladly trade all my hair for the ability to eat a steak or pizza again and be able to taste it. cool

During the whole time, you all here have been very supportive and I really thank you all who have offered your help, support and advise.

John
