Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 46 | Well I am done with Radiation and Chemo and I am still alive. The Chemo has some lasting effects but I believe I am wearing them down. No problems with Saliva but the swallowing is tedious. No we go on watch duty. I can't wait to get my g tube out and the port out of my chest. I am also getting my knees looked at. Last year I was walking 3 miles a day. This day I can't walk a quarter mile. So I'm alive but cripled for now. I have lost 60 pounds since Jan but it didn't help my knees. This was round 2 with the beast and I feel pretty good that I may have take him out!

Never take your eye off the ball, it may just smack you in the mouth.
