Hi Shawna --

Glad your Dad is doing better and that the tumor is going away! Wonderful! Chemoradiation really does work -- someone we know in Australia two weeks ahead of Barry had same experience, they had to make a new mask as his tumor went down so fast.

I had heard how quickly the sores can hit -- will be sure to ask Rad nurse tomorrow for oxycontin and/or Duragesic script as we have a weekend coming up -- know someone else who got caught at the weekend and WOW! Pain city!

Barry does have his peg already in so at least we are prepared in that fashion...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and inut -- we are forging ahead!

Gail and Barry
