Hi Sue,

Thanks for the greeting. I definitely would like to be there for all his appointments. It gets a little tricky with working full time. We both have fairly supportive employers and some accumlated sick/vacation time (him more than me thankfully!) but the paychecks need to continue, if you know what I mean.

Is it funny that he doesn't want to know about the side effects? I, of course, want to know everything! We operate so differently but so well together! Of course, he knows enough to stay safe but he doesn't want to dwell on them.

And you are so very correct about this website. The dentist that Adam saw who works exclusively with radiation patients recommended this website. Pretty good results.
