Mike finished chemo and rt one week ago today. Burns are healing nicely, fatigue is always there but maybe a tiny bit less each day, and today he actually ate some cream of wheat and tapioca pudding! (still using the peg for primary nutrition of course). I'm pretty stunned at this point....he has a prescription for pain and hasn't needed it. He says it's more discomfort than pain and believe me I'm not complaining about this but having read through lots of posts here, isn't this unusual? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop! Thanks for any comments.
