Ed seems to be maintaining although he has the 'fluttering' sensations in his belly. He has said that his stomach feels different than it did with the other two treatments. Atleast he is eating!! I feel terrible because he has always been this picture of health, he is not used to being sick. Also he had always ate healthy, putting others to shame with their diets (ahhhh, me LOL!!) and right now he eats just about anything he feels up to eating, homemade mac & cheese, things that are not-so-healthy but HE MUST GET FATTER!! Through this journey he has lost over 50 pounds!! YIKES!! Our concern for now is eat anything and MAINTAIN weight. Again girls, his belly has not been the same since pelvis rads and all doctors involved say he is recovering the way they envisioned, by the new year he should feel a bit better.

The toe thing seemed strange, but for a second since the entire disease is strange!! I knew someone had to have this go on and we will follow up since it could get to be an issue. I thank you girls for the advice and we are keeping 'AFOOT' of it all....ROTFL!!>>Believe51
