positive attitude + cancer = cancer POSITIVELY sucks!

Lottie, we all understand, trust me. Attitude helps a lot but isn't much benefit when you feel like you are choking to death. i would be calling his docs to find something to help. anti depressants may well help, as they would calm him when he has the choking feeling - because when you get a scared feeling it makes your throat muscles respond by tightening which makes it worse ... but do talk to them and find something to take for it so he can get some relief.
