Thanks Kelly,

Good advice about taking my daughter to the center. She loves science, and will hopefully have comfort in knowing that I will be in a safe place.

By the way, I don't know what you mean by center. I'm assuming by your post and Eric's, that there are cancer centers where all the treatments are done. I will ask my doctor, but I think I will be at the hospital for everything.

Thanks also for including in your profile that you quit smoking. I continue to cling to the single morning smoke, but will give that up on Friday, my birthday.

Also, can you describe where the soft palate is?

Thanks,
Barb
