Exam anxiety Satisfied

in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Friends,

2 months shy of the 2-year mark and I heard the words “No Signs of Cancer” this afternoon.  Other than edema, my ENT neither saw, felt nor scoped anything suspicious. Next exam in 6 months.

Keep on keeping on!

Matt

    edema

    Grandmax4,

    Under my chin around the front of my neck.  When it is deflated the turkey neck comes out.  Suggestions comes from  the Superthread massage technique.   Recently, my rad onc asked if I wanted a perscription for more massages and I said “no” (it is easy to do yourself).

    Glad to hear the results. Once you hit two years, you can really start putting this whole thing in the rear view mirror. Congrats! Don
