oral cancer. My personal journey

I had a good report from the eye doctor yesterday. This was important news. I have gloucoma in my left eye and have been using drops for several months. Some of the medicines that I was taking during my chemo said as a side effect that they could cause gloucoma. The doctor said that all of the pressures were normal.
I also emailed the hypnotherapist yesterday. I asked for another session. She thinks that we should wait another week.
I still feel really good. My taste is still way off. I am begining to taste sweet, as I said in my last post, but it isn't necessarily a pleasant taste. I forced myself to eat a hamburger and fries yesterday. They weren't good, but I am still trying to get 1000 calories a day from food and the other 1500 through the tube. I would like to get the tube out now but am not sure that I could force myself to eat 2500 calories a day

Tom!! I'm so glad to see this post. I'd been watching for updates on the Curmudgeon blog since December. I'm so glad you're doing better and will continue to pray for you!!
