Thanks ladies for the quick responses. As you guys know this whole "thing" is just so frustrating. Isn't it funny that I'm praying this is radiation side effects - what a bizarre thing to pray for, but in this scenario I would much rather him have a few months of hell then have more cancer!!

Sue you are so right about the docs - Dan has a BP problem and I read that Salagen causes high BP, I brought that up today and he's like no - not after the first week and if he's having BP issues still then he should go back to PCP.

Thankfully this is the RO and not our primary MO whom I love! And I really really like our ENT so at least we'll be in good hands on Thursday.

Oh he also tells me today definately Adenocarcinoma and not Acinic Cell and 4 lymph nodes - not three. Can you say frustrated!!!!
