Thanks so much for this information. I'm going to check on Packing the open wound. It's a really good idea because of the draining. I asked the oncologist the other day if this spot was going to continue to get bigger. It's about round as a Nickle rite now. The Doctor said it will stop getting bigger but another spot will break out.

The last couple of days my mom has been doing a little better. She was able to get out of bed and enjoy sitting outside and talking for a while. She has even eaten a little more than usual and her pain isnt quit as bad. I could'nt beleive what I was seeing. Maybe the Carbo/Taxel treatments are helping I dont know.

Thanks
Heidi
