Shawna,

I hope your dad's neck is holding up o.k. Sounds like you've gotten lots of good advice above.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your encouragement about getting the suction machine. My dad called the onc. doc. today and had one ordered and they delivered it this evening. I just talked to him, and he said mom is using it and it is helping already! That is great news because she was very skeptical that it could help with her extreme mucous problem. She is now finished with radiation! smile YEAH!!

Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice!
Laura
