Congrats John . . . getting past tx is huge! Many family members and friends ( and me too ) thought well he's done so he'll be a whole lot better right away . . . wrong! Your body's like a gas tank - now it's full of all that radiation and it will take a while to burn the stuff out of your system. I kept asking my RO for something to make me well quicker but there are no magic pills for this stage - really just time! I am now 6 months out and finally starting to feel more and more like the old me. Take care and best of luck!


Bill . . . SCC - originated in right tonsil, drifted into neck ( 28 lymph nodes removed - one positive ). Radical neck dissection in September 07, completed 34 radiation tx on January 4, 2008. Used Peg. Non smoker, 61, good shape, no previous health issues. Second year PET scan - "all clear".
