It is a scary world. I try to think of the good things as much as possible and try very hard not to think of recurrence or the other scary things. Do you have family or friends to support you?

I do not know what I would do without this forum and a couple of very good friends that take the time to give me a pat on the back every now and then. My family is not very supportive. They don't know how to be.

You will learn to eat food again in your own time. I was coughing and sputtering water not too long ago and today had the first bites of anything that resembles solid food - a pancake. I'm thrilled and I still have a long way to go. It will get better.

Please post the things that you feel here anytime you need to. That's what this is for. Support, encouragment, to have somewhere to fall apart if you need to. We are all here to hold your hand.
