Hi Karen I think your doing well Brian has gone the other way he used to have porridge every morning but now cant seem to get that down the oncologist said looking at his throat when he emamined him he said the inside looked as though he had had a lot stronger radiation than he had he must have been sensertive to the radiation luckerly we have special masks now so you don't loose your saliva glands.Brian was not impressed ha ha I think we have tried everything possible for him to eat as long as he can keep his weight stable and have some more injections to help his neck he will be ok Frances ...

Its 5yrs in nov. last time he saw his surgeon he said I wish I hadn't had radiation and the specialist said if you hadn't you might not be here now.
