hi Daniel,

my wife came home with 'Cancers of the Mouth & Throat' by W Lydiatt and P. Johnson. 2001 by Addicus Books. i was really surprised that she found this book in our small town at the discount book store... it has pretty good general info...

but there is no beating the broad range of info available here at the OCF.

i also had a tendency to sleep... the rule of thumb that i used was that if i continued to sleep thru the night, it was ok to nap during the day... if waking during night, ease off the napping.... that said, i could easily sleep 20 hrs a day with no problems sleeping thru the night..... always active, i adjusted rapidly and enjoyed my sleep... i slept rather than fighting sleepness.

good luck with your upcoming treatments.

cu,
