I was born and raised in Richmond, Va. Still licensed there. Have relatives from Winston Salem and spent many a summer in the Tarheel State.
I am only 4 months out and am trying to compare myself to someone similar which you appear to be except I only had Cis and 35 IMRT's.
I have pretty good taste, high freq hearing loss, dry mouth pretty much unchanged from end of Tx, working 9 to 7:30 but tired by then, mentally 100% for new clients and current work but finding some difficulty recalling previous client's work until I review the file, physically not up to pre Tx stamina mainly due to dry mouth making riding my bike an unpleasant experience. The dry mouth thing is really the only complaint I have.
Since you are 2 yrs out, do you remember what you were like appx 4 months out and how do I compare ?
Any comments would be appreciated.
