Dianne- I just read your reply-Do you live in Rochester? I am up here taking care of my dad he is West Irondequoit. I live in Mississippi but grew up in West irondequoit. We have a good schedule worked out between my sister and my aunt in Boston my dad will never be alone. He is also doing Cisplatin 2x a wk every 3 weeks. He hasn't had a peg but failed the swallow test and now very worried about lung aspirations. Anyhow- i am spending lots of time up here.
