OHH, How I can relate with all of this that you are going through. So much so that I wrote an article about this very thing on my blog.
www.surviving-oral-cancer.com/2008/07/recovering-from-oral-cancer.htmlI tell them all exactly how things are. I get a tad bit stern with those who always ask and know better, IE: my sister, but I give them all the same story. ( I am no better today than last week. Ask me that again in 6 months and then a year.) LOL Sounds like I am being a smarty pants, but it is so very true. In 6 months to a year, I can have a different report to give them rather than asking every week, or every day like some used to do.
Best to you and Dan,
John
