The C: Section Chronicles - 5 months

It's been 5 months since the last day of radiation treatment and I feel great. I still have issues with lack of saliva so I chew gum everyday. Because of the dry mouth and difficulty in swallowing I do not look forward to meal times. Drinking and eating is very slow, but hey... I'm alive and that is one blessing I can be extremely grateful of.
I had a recent ENT appointment and the specialist said as far as he could see and feel, there is no evidence of disease. I had been told I would have a six month PET scan, but because I'm on the public health system and funding has been severely reduced the PET scan will happen in two years time... In the meantime it's the new normal and life pretty much as usual.
