9 rads to go! Doc also said my tonsil tissue has all of the sudden shrunk significantly!!! Yay!!! (I did have a large portion of the tonsil removed but my tumor was so widespread it would have taken "combat style" surgery to get it all... Docs words)

    Great News
    The rest of the rads will go fast but not fast enough. Sounds like good news all around.

    Yippie!

    Congratulations!
    That's great news all around! I remember when I realized I could no longer feel my tonsil and soft palate cancer locations... such a good sense of progress!

    good report
    Cindy,

    I love to hear “single digits” and “shrunk significantly” what wonderful words to hear on this bus ride. You have been a really good patient, keep doing what you have been doing.

    Best,

    Matt
