We did receive instructions a number of weeks ago, but it would have been better if we were taught, live and in person (I am a "show-me" kind of gal). He seems to have more energy in the morning, but is wiped out by noon. Also, he complained about a sore in the left side of his throat. We heard that honey was a soother for this type of thing and sure enough, "a spoonful of honey" worked wonders. Today, is a double-up day, chemo and radiation. Almost at the halfway point of treatment. A day at a time..... Richard & Barbara
