Only 3 days of radiation left! We met with the doc today. He said everything is looking good, my airway and tumor are holding stable. Unfortunately, we found out that we won't see any actual shrinkage for up to 12 weeks after treatment. They didn't mention that before. 
:-/ So, holding stable is good, but it will be a while before we know if the radiation had any significant effect on the tumor. It's also possible that the side effects won't hit me for a few weeks- I'm feeling a LITTLE off right now, but he said that over time, I could develop more serious side effects like painful or difficult swallowing. So, treatment is almost done, but it sounds like I have a couple months of surprises in store when it's over. 
:-P Oh well. Onward and upward!
