Oops - forgot to reply to the rest of yall. My brain is out there today - my little boy is wide open this afternoon and keeps distracting me.

Thanks for the hugs Deb - I am praying for the side effects!!

Eileen - your right had not been to doc much at all. His normal since I have been paying attention is 145/99 and would go up a little from there. His father has heart issues - so PCP put him on BP meds, but last Friday it was 170/100. He said no pain, no stress, etc. but obviously there was something or it wouldn't have been that high. I forgot to have them check it yesterday and asked him to have them check it today when he went for radiation (I'm sure he didn't), but we'll be at the doc tomorrow and the Cancer Center on Friday so I'll see what it says then. I also heard that Cisplatin can lower your BP so I'm a little apprehensive for the PCP to increase his dose.

Yeah Markus - my RO is not a H&N guy. There is not a specialist in Montgomery.

Thanks guys - I really appreciate all of your support!
