I haven't posted in a couple weeks mainly because i have started to feel a lot better and have started working part time. My diet has progressed in this order: scrambled eggs, omelettes, mashed potatoes topped with either ground beef or turkey with gravy. Tuesday, one month after my treatment ended, I had meatloaf, spinach, jello and ice cream for lunch. My biggest and most varied meal in two months. Sine then i've had enchiladas and even a chicken fried chicken. So, those of you who are just completing your treatment, know that you will eat again.

It is still a little sore going down and doesn't taste exactly -like it did pre-treatment, but since my saliva thinned food has not tasted bad. I do notice and improvement every day.

My next step in this ordeal is to get my CT scan on mar. 24th and see where i stand and if i need follow up surgery on my lymph nodes. The lump I had has shrunk and is now very small. i probably would not be able to find it if i had not gone through this.

Again, thanks for all your input.
