I completely understand the frustration everyone is going through. They didn't give me any warning of the difficulties I would face with eating, or the pain. I'm 20 years out and I can say it gets better with time, but going through it isn't easy. A nurse put it to me bluntly, "You didn't need to worry about that, you just had to decide whether you wanted to live or die." I've come to appreciate that sentiment when I find myself getting down about my situation, and now that my sister has gone through throat cancer twice and isn't expected to make. Despite the treatments being brutal, they allow us to survive, which in my book is a blessing. Take care.
