My husband had a follow up physical exam with a scope, poke and prod (up the nose with an optic hose camera) and everything looks perfect!  The doctor said a scan won’t be necessary at this time and he will see us in two months! :). He is 8 months out of treatment.

    Your husband and I were like

    Your husband and I were like 2 days apart in our treatment.  I am also 8 months out and everything looks good according to my ENT.  Only thing is some lingering side effects like ringing ears, dry mouth, fatigue, neuropathy in feet and fingers.  I can eat pretty much anything now however, i do have some trouble swallowing.  Take care,  Keith.

    Awesome!

    Glad to hear you are doing well, too.  From what I recall, you had a rougher ride than my husband side effect wise.  I’m glad to hear that many of them have resolved.  Have you tried saligen for the dry mouth?  It’s been working well for my husband.
