Gail, Congratuialtions on Barry doing so well. I'm sure it is partly due to all the preparations you amde and to your keeping up on what he's doping every day to be sure he's doing all that he should do.

Cream of Crab soup--yum. Though I don't know if it would BE yum for me now, and it certainly wouldn't have for me by the time I was halfway through rad. I was still enjoying the gourmet veggie cream of mushroom soup, I think, around then but everything else did have a bad "radiation" taste by then. Maybe he will be lucky and never have to do the PEG or have the bad taste at all--with al the honey and aloe as well as the other stuff you're doing. I'm glad it's going so smoothly.

Can any tumor tissue that has been frozen be tested for HPV? I have been wondering if I should request that test anyway since as you say it is linked to cervical cancer as well.
