I agreee with Tom. The first time sent me right off the edge. Plus with limited lymph function it made me really scared cause I swelled up a little in the neck.

My doctor said "just because you had cancer, doesnt mean you wont get a cold ever again" Good advice.

Anyway I have had 5 or 6 colds since the all clear and I dont think too much about it anymore. I still wonder when its not going to be just a cold, but hey, it will be like that forever I guess..........

Good things
