My husband also let me take charge for him, I made the calls and asked all the questions. He went along, even though he was too scared to ask certain questions I always asked his permission before asking a doctor so that he would be OK and ready to know more. At one point recently he stoped me in the middle of a question about radiation and its effeciency. It was a little unsettling but I respected his wishes. Now he is at a stage were he is wanting to be informed, he also wants to meet and talk to other survivers.
It ispossible for a scan to pick up phlegm as somthing suspicious? Is that all it was? Wheeeehw, well its goog to know, all the best, Sophie
