update
Wow.
More good news: no evidence of thrush! Awesome.
More good news: he cleaned out wax from my troublesome right ear and I CAN HEAR!!! The tinnitus is still there, but what a difference.
He figures I will probably have slow recovery on swallowing over the next 6 months and that I am to "keep at it" in terms of trying to swallow. I see the speech pathologist on Thursday.
Next major decision: what tattoo to get!
Best,
Mick

That is music to my ears. I am so happy to see your post. What great news. Congratulations.
Life.....bring it on!!!!!
but it does seem a bit early to be proclaimed C-free, Mick, so soon after your treatment. Thing is- maybe this means your next PS/CT won't be until the 1-year post-treatment, like it was with me. That's a good thing. For now, Mick, and many months to come- OH YEAH, this is excellent to hear from you.

Yes, Dr said in his "experience" a scan like mine means very good news. He added the disclaimer, as I noted, that there is the 5-year rule within which anything can happen. I am aware that this is early, yet I am cautiously optimistic that his experience is good for something.

So glad you can hear somewhat again. But....(I remember asking you this months ago.LOL)....Can you Yawn ???
Audiologist told me when he cleaned out mine, that alot of radiated dead skin tissue was in my ear canal, which made sense.

Mick,
That's a lotta good news Bro'! Glad to hear it. As for the eating, one day I couldn't eat and then over 3 days all the sores on my tongue went away and I could start eating again. Hopefully you'll have a turn-around like mine on the eating thing.
Positive thoughts....
