hi Again, thanks for letting us know how its going, and glad to hear things are not toooooo bad, i suffered terrible heart burn, and when i meantioned it to the oncologist, he gave me some medicine, the white chalky yukky stuff, but it really helped. thats good you have an appetite, and good on you for spoiling yourself, wish i was nearer smoked salmon sounds good to me, lol. make sure you mention ALL your symptoms to the doc, i know some of the side effects i got at the beginning of my cycle, i had forgot about by the time my next one came along (3 weeks), but i had my husband, so make sure you use your journal from bcna and write it all down. please let us know how you are going, i know we all have distance, but we can at least be here to chat anytime. so good luck thinking of you Moira
