You're right, I can feel the radiated area with each swallow, and burp. You are very observant. Before treatment, no problems with regurgitation. I did notice trouble getting chunky food to go all the way down because the 'mass' took up a lot of room in my esophagus. That mass is now no longer present!

You look good and sound good, and your news, overall, was good. I could hear you swallowing. Is it more difficult to swallow right now? Did you ever, before the treatments, have a problem with regurgitation of food?

10 lbs? Wow, you're getting that higher calorie drinks just in time! Drinking and retaining plenty of water in your system will also help keep the weight up. I hope the last couple of weeks went by fast for you. You're now well on your way towards your end goal. The best to you!

Great to hear your eating! My appeptite is starting to dwindle and have lost 10 lbs since last Friday. Starting with Boost this weekend, but am having Sloan get me the higher calorie/protein drinks delivered the house soon. God bless you, buddy.
