Dan is a lot like you, Gary. Salt drove him nuts. He is able to tolerate a little warm water and baking soda, but when I tried the salt he went through the roof in pain.

We are giving the suction machine a go. (Many, many thanks to Amy).

He is also using Caphsol.

Donna, what is tussionex? Sounds like your mom is diong well. How is she managing with the Erbitux?
