Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I had an appt. with my RO this morning at 8:30. He came in the room and said hey Jim, how are you feeling? I said great and how are you feeling. HIs answer was, "I feel great too and I don't want to see you again for 3 months. You are Cancer Free.." Wow , that sounded so good to my ears. He did tell me to try and put some weight back on and asked how the eating was coming along. Just told the truth. The 1st bite or 2 have taste and the rest kind of burn my tongue. But I told him I eat whatever I can blend into liquid and some that I can mash using my tongue against the roof of my mouth. He said keep trying different things, but didn't mention dentures yet. Grrrrr .... Now you know the rest of the story. LOL
