Wow, Eileen - - lots of things for my notepad! I'll definately talk to the good doctor about the scarring and the salivary gland - - and I'd never have thought about the arm!

We did use the Biafine for his neck during radiation.....wonderful stuff - Tom's neck went from bright red to a rosy pink and from rough and scaly to baby soft smile The smell is not great, but you can't have it all, huh?

I've put a call into his GP to talk about Lexapro or Zolaft or something to help him...neither of us is sleeping worth a darn...both of us are waking with disturbing thoughts...not good.

I'm going to see if I can coax him into eating something by mouth tonight. Wish me luck!
Love
Nicki
