Thanks, Eric, I was just picturing this ugly thing taking on all the nutrition that it can so it can keep on.

Then I started to think that if he wasen't losing weight, that might mean that the PDT got the whole thing out in December. So many things, but I am a reader and I feel, as you said, the good information and being informed and unstanding what you are dealing with makes sense. You have to be your own advocate, as sometimes even the very best don't have all answers at times. I think this is the best place to post messages - as I had been posting in the introduction thread, too.
