I haven't updated in a while, so here it is.  The 7 week course of treatment ended 2 weeks ago.  I've been recuperating since then.  The treatment was very difficult to endure.  I dropped 40lbs because it was difficult to eat and drink.  A week ago I began to eat semi solid food again, so I put some weight back on and I am feeling a lot better.  In 2 or 3 weeks I will start the next round of treatment - chemo once a month for 3 months.  That should be a lot easier to endure than the 7 weeks of almost daily radiation and weekly chemo.  :)

I probably shouldn't go kayaking yet.  I'm still recovering, regaining some strength and energy.

I have no sense of taste, and I am only up to eating "wet" food such as soup noodles and cereal.

Pho sounds good sometime.

Another update.

Its been 2 months since the 7 week treatment of chemo and radiation.  My throat is pretty much all healed up from the sores resulting from the radiation.  The only side effects that remain are lack of saliva production and my taste buds have returned to about 35%.  Food still doesnt taste the way should, but I can taste more flavors, usually just lightly.  My energy level been improving and I feel good overall.

I just completed the 2nd of 3 monthly chemos.   Hopefully March will be the last month I will need chemo.  I visited the ENT doctors last week where they used a scope to look at my nasal passage and throat.  They said it looks really good in there.

There is still some residual affected lymph nodes in my neck that may need to be surgically removed.  Doc says that will be determined at a later date - about 2 months.

Thanks again for all your support.
