Dear key-
Thankyou so much for your response! I can hardly believe that it was only January when I first posted that! Seems so long ago...
Pete had his 3rd of 5 rounds of taxol and cisplatin this past thursday...the 11th of 25 'glow in the dark' treatments today. The throat biopsy was NOT cancer (thank god)...and he was/is able to participate in an iressa study.
The j tube remains tender...and leaky...but has been such a help keeping him well nourished/hydrated! They 'threw' a few more stiches around it...but still tender and leaky...we would prefer it to be left alone until the surgery...if possible.
It is funny you should mention driving LOL! We drive 70 miles each way to johns hopkins in rush hour traffic! When he feels well, HE drives! THAT will be the test of our relationship!! Maybe could be a relationship test for all! YITE! (Almost wish he had more sick days...MY hair is falling out! JOKE!)
I am glad you have the love and support of your GF! Have her e mail me...so we can compare notes!!
TC!
Gerette/michele
