Two weeks out from radiation

The last few weeks have been getting a little better every day. Last week the feeding tube got clogged and he was throwing up everything we put in the tube. We went in on Friday the 15th they gave him a new feeding tube. It has been uphill from there. Yesterday, Sunday he actually ate, or drank some cream of pureed celery soup. Yes, we celebrated the small miracles. Today he drove to West Valley, big outing for him. He drove home past Kentucky Fried Chicken and was pulled inside to have a bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy. Wow, what a milestone. I think we are on the way. He is still very weak and has lost about 30 lbs. (more gravy I say). Thanks to all the kind people and your prayers are still coveted. He will be needing teeth and a long recovery.

  1. Cancer tratment and recovery become your life, but it gets better. We are 10 years out and it all seems so sureal now. The blessing is that you get such a wonderful perspective on all aspects of life after going through this ordeal. Hang in there, and May God bless you all!
