Earle
So how are you doing now?
I survived the EC but have now moved on to get treatment for prostrate cancer with Gleason score of 4+3=7 which is agressive enought to warrent treatment even though I'm 80 now. I start 28 radiation treatments next week.
I hope you are doing better now.

I'm a month post proton radiation now. However, I still have esophagitis and trouble with spasms from time to time. I'm still 99% on tube feeding. I'd hoped to be further along, but it is what it is. I go back in a month for followup. Best of luck with the PC. They can do a lot with it now. My stepson developed it in his mid-50s recently. His insurance wouldn't cover proton, even though there's a proton facility within a few miles of his house in Nashville...
