post-treatment update
I haven't posted since about half-way through my treatment of stage 3 laryngeal cancer. My 35 days of radiation and concurrent chemo ended June 7. After a couple of weeks of post-treatment hell I'm on the way to feeling well. I'm back to work full time and other than a little pain and a raspy voice I'm doing pretty well. My energy level is pretty good and I'm starting to recover some from the atrophy of lack of activity during treatment. My surgeon says he sees no sign of the tumor through the scope.
I'll have scans in a couple of weeks, which I've been obsessing about. I have a grandbaby due in August and a great vacation planned in September. Anticipation is clouded by the prospect of possible negative outcomes.
Sorry if this is a double post. I thought I had posted before but it didn't show up. Glad you all are here! My day is brighter since I visited.

Marty,
Glad to hear that youMarty,
Glad to hear that you seem to be getting back to your old self! Try not to worry too much about your scans, it's a good thing they can't see the tumor! Stay positive
I am sure you may not have seen me around here as I joined the end of May. I'm here to support my dad who has sinus cancer and one lymph node affected. He had his last chemo Monday and finishes rads on the 25th of this month. I hope dad recovers as quickly as some of you on here have! Wonderful news.
Congrats on the soon to be here grandbaby by the way! Enjoy your vacation when it comes around
