Charm: I'm in treatment at Johns Hopkins. You? I plan to start going for therapy to Fairfax to supplement my visits to JH. I don't know some of the terms in your signature: glossectomy, Erbitux, vigilon. Could you explain? My pain is due to the jaw pain which is due to the trismus. Is that what your problem is? I have plenty of the Fentanyl patches and drugs but unless I've just taken a pill they don't give much relief for the pain in my jaw. I don't mind the crushing pills or the peg.
