Hi Danny:

Small steps-you need to walk before you run. I'm really proud of you for trying to eat! I don't know any good melon jokes, but if I did, I'd send one your way!

You will be okay tapering the Duragesic-trust your body to let you know.

Dave had his chest and abd. scans today-I'm really scared of potential results but trying not to become overanxious.

The thing that is hardest for Dave this week is how painful it is to speak. Seems everything is an effort.

Keep up the progress & I'm pulling for you,

Kim
