        My Husband will start his 4th week Today .His taste buds are so messed up and can`t find anything that taste good and when he does eat his stomach cramps so bad.He has lost 15lbs  and is very weak that he cannot work.He said there is No Way he is going to do the 11 months and will be lucky to finish this week.Will have scans and tests every 3 months and Pray for the best. If I would have known it was going to be this bad, I would never have talked him into it and now pray that the high dose did some good at least…..Good Luck to you all.

            We are brand new to this too….Stage IIB on January 10th,Stage III on February 10th after a WLE,Skin graft and a  SLNB that came back positive for the Sentile node that they removed. After  going  through those surgeries   Hubby refuses to have the lymph Node Dissection,but will try Interferon starting Monday, I think just to please me. We know the odds are not good with it,but afraid not to try something and  I don`t want to have the What Ifs.He said he will at least try it and hopefully he can at least make it through the 30 days high dose since I heard sometimes thats good enough.  Good Luck to You All
