Quintessence

It has been an odd week since completing radiation. In one sense it feels like I am "done" with all this but yet there is a more pervasive sense of waiting for my CT scans in mid-April. I really feel confident that everything worked but I am looking for some kind of confirmation I guess. Also some of the side effects continue...still not much for taste*, a very dry mouth especially at night, not much hair on my head and a "bald" spot on my face at the site of the direct frontal radiation. /dps

(*this morning at breakfast we had some maple syrup from our friend Steve Young and I could actually taste it! Only faintly, briefly, and on the left side of my tongue but definitely there!).
