Diane,

It really helps me keep my head, getting pearls of wisdom from those who've gone before.

Thanks for the xanax advice - I've never taken it before, but have to agree that it sounds like a good idea.

I, too, had a right tonsillectomy - it was clear, but my tumor was touching it, so it came out when I got biopsied.

I just did some looking, and read that your husband's PEG tube came out at one point. That must have been terrifying! I'm not really sure what they're like (one person I read somewhere likened it to a button on his stomach with a tube coming out). When did Dana use it - the entire time, or beginning at a certain point? It looks like he had it in for 8 months. Did it take that long for treatments to complete, then his throat to clear enough to eat?

Appreciate everything,

- P
