No Tylenol in the medications. In addition my son says the doctor
loudly instructed the nurses "no Tylenol" AND "no aspirin".

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

That is a great support network. Often the spouse of a cancer patient
needs even more care than the patient, they tend to worry a lot more.
Sometimes my wife and I jump in here in the neighborhood when such
families don't have nearby relatives. It's pretty easy for us since all
our folks are far away.

Believe me, it sure does have a lot to do with it. We work in a ministry
which means we see a lot of folks in hospitals or drive them to their
chemo sessions, and usually it's the really serious cases. A positive
attitude can be the ticket to health.

True.
