Really only a few? The doc told us like it was the way they always did it. Maybe there was something about Harry? I never really asked although like I said, it has been my experience that the docs tailor make each tx which is why I said that in my last post.

When Harry was in the hospital they would record how much fluids he got through his IV and they made him track how much by mouth and every time he went to the bathroom he had to measure that too. Maybe it was because of his age? He also had 4 infusions rather than the 3 I hear a lot of others get. I am sure that his docs had their reasons and we trust them completely. They haven't let us down yet.

His MO is the Chief of Hemotology and Oncology at Baylor, his RO is the Chief of Radiation at Baylor, and his ENT trains most of the ENT's in the medical center here in Houston. We have always felt very lucky that we got the best of the best. This is why I said that you MUST choose your docs carefully and when you feel you have chosen well then you just have to trust them.

Thanks for your input Gary. You have to be one of the most knowledable people when it comes to the technical parts of treatments and I have relied on your advice numerous times.

Thanks for being here!
