Thanks Bart. For almost 35 years, all my jobs invloved protecting people. Now I can't even protect myself lol. I met lots of celebrities, public officials, dignitaries, and most Presidents, mostly old school, under various circumstances, not that we were buddy, buddy lol, well, Christine Brinkley did kiss me twice, and Jerry Lewis once did in his comical way, Frank Sinatra knew me by name, and had a cocktail with Glen Cambell, to name a few.

I write for the record in hopes it will help someone. I meant to add that my eating has been compromised, and my oncologist wants me to use three cans of protein a day through my tube, there was a reason I kept it lol, in addition too, my oral intake which is mostly carbs, but I'm not inept in the kitchen, and can whip up lots of things. I just don't have the energy, and some medications make you dizzy, which you probsbly know. I cook sitting in my walker, which I no longer need, unless I know I would need to stand for a long duration, and that wont't happen!

Speaking of dizzy, there is a recent report that Taxotere can cause intoxication, so thier advising to use caution in some. Got side tracked here lol.

Part of the problem is the Orthrostatic Hypotension that I self diagnosed with my BP monitor. This has been ongoing for a while feeling faint, dizzy, out of breath upon standing , and I thought it was High BP. Sometimes it is, but when I stand from sitting, it drops more than 20. Most, if not all, doctor offices check your BP sitting, so mine was never seemed bad. I never made it back to the cardiologist to complete the stress test, but will have to review that soon. I guess do what I can do now, and hopefully will help later on.
