My husband's cancer is stage III from what things indicate. And, I am looking forward to him seeing these replies tonight as he is still so sore, lost 50 lbs, but had a big cushion and is probably at his ideal weight now. But, is trying to eat real foods and gets discouraged. He's back on the lidocaine 2% rinse that seems to provide some relief prior to eating. Thanks for the feedback!

Husband-diagnosed shortly after his 50TH Birthday celebration-Stage 3 SCC, T3N1M0, R tonsil, radical neck disection 6/25/2008, 1 positive node, cisplatin x2, and radiation (36), completed therapy 10/8/2008. Non-smoker, occasional drinker, all around GREAT guy!
