Michael,
Just wanted to say hi and hope the feeling in your throat proves nothing worrisome. John told me he finds himself wondering what each sensation in his throat/tonsil area means. His left tonsillectomy was July 6th. He seems to be settling into the radiation rhythm pretty well now and the chemo effects seem gone for now - there is hope! He also fights dehydration but he's now accepting the Peg tube and beginning to appreciate what it can save him in time and effort. We both jumped though when he belched as I opened the Peg clamp and I got splashed! Hang in there and best of luck. He's being treated in the Cleveland Clinic system at their Moll cancer site on the west side of Cleveland.
Peace,
Janet
