Continued best wishes for you, slag. I know it must be tough to stay upbeat while getting through the day but you've come far already.

been about a week since my last update. Um.. I'm down 50 lbs. Had a stomach bug and couldn't eat for a couple days. STill getting over that mess but feeling better. I have 12 radiation sessions left out of 31 total so I am on the downward slide, however, I have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucositis which sucks and I have lesions along the sides of my tongue and back in my throat. I'm sipping water, but 100% of my nutrients come through a feeding tube now. What else? Just living day to day right now and hoping the next couple weeks fly by.

Slag, you were in my thoughts this morning and just wanted to give a shout out. I hope things have improved a little. You are on the home stretch so stay focused and relaxed as much as possible. I pray the remainder of your treatment and recovery get better each day and you finish your treatment with an absolute clean bill of health.

Thank you for sharing and being such an inspiration to us here at AT. I know words are hallow, especially from strangers on the internet, but your story is touching and I deeply hope somehow, someway, this experience can be used to bless others. You have shown yourself strong and courageous throughout the sordid ordeal so I am confidant you will be able to lend your support and strength to others in their time of need. We need more people like you! Cancer sucks but it is showing the world what a special and unique person you are. Keep up the fight, be a bad-ass and kick cancers ass man! God bless, Joshua

7 more treatments left. There's a chance I can skip my next chemo which is scheduled for Monday because my kidney levels are elevated.

My last radiation was last Thursday. This is by far some of the toughest times now as my body heals. A healing body is a painful body. My mouth is slowly starting to get back to normal the doctor said. Im hoping that by this time next week I feel at least 50% better.

Oh, we also sold our house this week. It was on the market for 12 hours. We've been having our realtor over several times a day and its tiring.

Congrats on finishing the radiation. Heal fast.

I didn't see previous mention of your house in the thread. I hope you're selling because you want/need to move and not for financial reasons.

Congratulations on finishing radiation. You've (un)officially completed IMO the toughest RT regimen there is. Take care of yourself, get better.

Why are you selling the house?


We outgrew it and were about to list it in the spring when I received my cancer diagnosis. We thought it would be on the market for a few months but instead, it sold same day. We priced it higher than the comps in the area also. Guess we hit at the right time.

Inspection is Monday, they want ownership in early August.

+1 on the house if you're able to get the move done.


Haven't priced places over the rainbow. Decent?

Well you can assume that at least half of us who have read this thread haven't replied, but wish you luck anyway..
BTW, Bruce Dickinson had/has similar/same cancer but he caught it early.
