Happy New Year!

Its hard to believe that 2008 is already here. It really seems like yesterday that I first found out I had cancer and was getting ready to start treatments. The recover phase from radiation seemed far far away and now its here.

There really isn't much to report. I am slowly getting better. At this point I still can't talk more than uttering a single word and I can't swallow or of course eat but I do feel that I am moving closer and closer to those goals. My energy level is getting better and I am starting to keep "normal hours". No more sleeping all day and being awake half the night. (The food channel just lost another late night viewer)

I imagine that it will change a bit when I have the follow up chemo treatments but the impact on my throat will only continue to get better. From what the radiation folk told me I will start to get better slowly at the beginng and it will accelerate as time goes on.
