Hi johnbonani
I had 28 days of radiation and chemo and no surgery. The tumor is gone now and I've ganed back 10 or the 20 pounds I lost which is good. The side affects where challenging. I had a feeding tube for several months when I could only swallow sips of water, and I was always tired and caughing. But I'm fine now.
Let me know if I can answer any questions?

Does your throat still hurt when you eat? My husband is going on two and half months after treatments and still hurts to swallow and eat, he has to drink water after every bite. I think I heard on here it takes a long time to heal.
