Barry, Hi. I'm the caregiver in our situation. And you have gotten some good advice. The hint to get every "business card" and phone # of the people who are treating you is going to come in handy later. Also,I got a 12"x81\2" calendar and started filling in each day from the time John saw our family Doc and got referred to an ENT. That calendar has never left my side since. It has all test and scan dates, all Dr. visits, day he entered hospital for surgery and day dismissed, 1st rad Dr visit, 1st rad tx, etc, etc.Because the Docs, etc. were 150 mi away, we also kept up with all mileage and hotel expenses for tax purposes. I have used the calendar several times in the last 2 weeks, to argue with the Ins folks, to fill out Soc. Security papers, etc. If I hadn't kept it, I would have never remembered the sequence of events. And John was too out of it to remember much. Sounds like you are doing great with food. Keep it up I would also suggest that you don't put much on you dance card starting ater the 2nd or 3rd wek of rad. Much good luck. Amy
