Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 13 | I just want to update all the concerned people who gave me support when george was quitting his treatment with 2 weeks to go. he has been in the hospital since last thursday getting hydrated and they finally got the ulcers in his mouth under control with diflucan IV and an anti viral IV. he has agreed to get a feeding tube and port and finish his treatment. now he says that "the docs should make you get the peg no matter what!" the doctors (and me) wanted him to at the beginning and he was adamant about NOT getting that or a port. of course he doesn't remeber that part!
thanks again and good luck to all, Jayann CG to george w/ tonsil cancer | | |

Hey, speaking for all us men, we NEVER remember saying anything we don't don't remember saying. That should be clear enough.
Oh and BTW, I have known my wife to be " conveniently forgetful" at times herself.
