Your Treatments are over, now you start to heal. From what other people have said, it takes a while to get back to normal, each day you improve . Please hang in there ,you will feel better and a few months from now you can look back and see just how strong you are. I know it's frustrating but you can and will get much better! Keep updating your journey to full health. Your cancer is gone!

I appreciate your response I just want real food so bad. I have ulcers in my mouth causing pain and I am using the salt and soda rinse. My wife even is frustrated that I can't eat. I get tired in the afternoon so I sleep a couple hours. I get tired of being in the house but I don't' want to catch germs in the store. I don't need any more problems. I just feel so alone I used to have my dog for company but lost him to kidney disease in April. I glad I can work part days I was going to retire but I feel now needing the comfort of the job to continue working. This just seems like and endless wheel of small improvements, limited food, medication and a constant sore mouth.
I feel like a made a huge mistake having the treatment especially when I researched other treatments that are not so long. No one said I would experience all this that I question if surgery would have been better. But it is too late now and the damage is done all I hope for is improvement.
