Thanks Sue - I'll have to look that cream up and see what the difference is. We will definately be asking for a PEG and probably a PORT as well.

I was supposed to have an outpatient procedure done on my back tomorrow to try and relieve the pain (since we can't do surgery right now), but based on what is happening today - we will need to see the doc tomorrow when he's in for his radiation treatment.

I am a little stressed today and overwhelmed and feeling inadequate, but I know that's normal and we'll make it though. It's just tough sometimes - as of course you know!!

I need to go and get David some supper and a bath and story time, etc. I need to eat something as well, but just don't seem to have an appetite today.
