Hi Michelle
Sorry to hear about Dan. Craig suddenly unable to swallow today too so I guess they have both hit their threshold being about the same distance into their treatments.

Craig's been finding Canada Dry Ginger Ale really helpful in clearing his throat. I think it's probably terrible for his teeth (I make him brush extra). Unfortunately we ran out last night. I've just been out to get some but he won't drink it yet because it's not cold frown I'm hoping that we won't have to resort to going down to ER today (not least because we got 4 inches of snow overnight!) but we'll see what happens.

Interesting that someone comments about meds. He only started taking the morphine yesterday (on doctor's advice) so it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with it? Up to then he's been doing liquid T3.

Craig's last (3rd) chemo is scheduled for Tuesday with bloodwork done yesterday (Friday). We haven't heard anything bad so I assume it's going ahead but I guess we'll know for sure on Monday.
