MD50, Cool that all I wanted to know. I know what that all about. Now getting back to questions about cancer and treatment and how it is affecting all of us, I have some really serious ones. Number one would be what can (your oppinion) I use on my throat to stop the pain. I choose not to use Pharm. just me. Number two, My voice doesn't seem to want to return and that freaks me out! Does anyone have any advise? Number three would be: Is it 3 or 2 or wine or beer or nothing? This goes back to number two, I freaking out alittle and I want to know if I can have a drink to calm me down. I go to the doctor this coming Wednsday (ENT) and Thursday (oncologist. Thanks form all of your input and it is not taken lightly! Tony
