His mouth is all swelled up and he is miserable. His chin has a growth on it and everything from his neck up, looks so so sore. I don't know if the cyberknife made it worse (for now) or if that is the cancer. I'll ask the dr. tomorrow. After his surgery last March 2008, I thought he was on his way to be healed. Never gave recurrence a thought, never gave mets to lungs a thought either. Poor guy, since his recurrence he can't even sip water---absolutely nothing by mouth, of course he never did eat after surgery. It's been a year. Prattle Prattle Prattle--I can go on forever. Good night all ! Claudia
