Thank-you for your kind words. She gets her feeding tube put in today at 12:30. She is really scared. Even after all she has been through, she still hates IV's! I think that the feeding tube will make things easier for her, but she needs some convincing of that too. She has been slamming boost and ensure drinks just so she could get them down fast so the pain would be minimal. Did those of you that have had feeding tubes find that they made things easier? She also has been taking a lot of baths lately. I think it is the one time when she can go relax in some warm water and get away from things...but now with the feeding tube in she probably won't be able to take them. They are starting the chemo either tomorrow or thursday, but she isn't sure yet what the treatment will be. We are all crossing our fingers.

Lots of friends and family came to visit her on Sunday, but she told me that she felt like they were coming to visit her because they thought she was going to die. Does anyone have a story about surviving inoperable cancer that has spread to the throat and what is left of the tounge? I want to give her good news when I see her on Thursday. But to be honest I am running out of good news. This is the most depressing thing I have ever had to deal with...and I feel extremely guilty saying that, because I'm not even the one with cancer.
