Terry,

I think the Anchor Inn changed owners and has a new name now.

I'm so sorry to hear what you are and have been going through, both physically and mentally. Being a care giver is a very tough job and I hope that somehow you and your mother will be back in touch with each other soon. It's a such a shame that this awful disease can destroy relationships, too.

As far as your questions go regarding thrush and mucositis, I would suggest that you go to the home page of this web site and use the search field on the right bottom of the page. Since I fortunately did not have to deal with these problems personally and I just don't see patients with them, I think you will find the search very helpful. Also, many members have had these problems and I'm sure you will get posts with helpful advice.

I'm sure it would be helpful having your sister for support and I hope that you won't be feeling that badly from the lymph node surgery. You should plan on someone being there for you at home, for at least a few days, probably for transportation, if needed.

Good luck and I am leaving tomorrow for a few days and probably won't have access to a computer until Sunday. Will be thinking of you.

Jerry
