ORMOND BEACH - - Sorry about the three month break in my blog but something got in the way: Cancer. Stage 2, left tonsil. Less than a week after birthday 73, the biopsy came back positive. Two days later I started treatment: 7 weeks of once-a-week chemo; 7 weeks of 5-days-a-week radiation therapy. Add in a two week hospital stay near the end of treatment for being badly dehydrated and you have a fun time. Not only that, but the radiation gives the inside of your mouth a bad "sunburn" so that you can't eat solid food and that's why I'm on a feeding peg. Hook up to the machine and get food through a tube in your stomach.
Anyway things are looking a bit more positive now. I'm walking a mile-plus a couple of times a day and working on getting my strength and stamina back. Losing 25 lbs. didn't help. So that's the story for now. Sort of regular blogs to follow. CHEERS
