Great news, Dan is fine regarding the throat issues. ENT scoped it this morning and found no masses, no cysts, no sores, no thrush, etc. It's just red and irritated. He believes it is reflux - the LERD kind and that the radiation has irritated it so now it is bothersome. It can actually cause every symptom Dan is having - who knew?!?! He prescribed Nexium. Evidently you can have reflux and not even know it (silent type) and then when something triggers or irritates it - here you are. We are very very happy, because in the scheme of things this is NOTHING compared to what we were afraid of.

Lois - great idea! I'll do that hopefully this afternoon.

Thanks for all your positive thoughts.
