Paul, I'm sorry the dental issues continue and really do hope the antibiotics settle the infection down. Can you ring the radiation doc and push to get this rolling for you? Though of course you may want to wait until after Christmas. At least your haemoglobin is trending in the right direction. The BP still needs a bit of fine tuning, guess the Cardiologist will sort this for you. Hope you get all the reassurance you need from the chemo Nurses to be relaxed enough and calm for the chemo. I understand your worries given your previous history. You are like the energiser bunny - just keep on keeping on. Tammy
