in Head and Neck Cancer #1
Well I had my check up with my RO. I was shocked when I stepped on the scale. I definitely did not have to wear 6 layers of clothing, boots, and have a pocket full of pennies this time when I stepped on the scale. Dress and heels. 110.7 Much better than 87 pounds. :D He gave me the old scope-a-rooni. Looked and felt around my mouth neck and everything looked good. Except my mouth is 'extra dry'. (no kidding). As some of you know I am on the Pet-free plan. So, he ordered another chest X-ray and a thyroid check since I am still exhausted all the time.

He was very pleased and proud of me for how far I have come. Mee tooo! Next appointment in six months. They are getting farther and farther out.

I am sure my X-ray and blood test will be normal. It was so nice to be out and about in the sunshine today. I was early so I went to dunkin donuts and had a cheese egg and croissant sandwich and a cup of toasted almond cappuccino. Got half down before I ran out of time. :) Feels nice to be doing 'normal' things. Had to sit here in the parking lot, face up to the sunshine and give a prayer of thanksgiving. :)

For those who feel like there is no end in sight, there is. Sometimes it just takes som of us a little longer to get to our new normal. Thinking of all my friends here today and wishing you all many blessings.

Sweet.

    Great news. And I'm PET free too
    My doc prefers not to PET scan if possible. BTW, ask about Evoxac for your dry mouth...it's a Rx drug and it is helping me a fair amount.

    Best regards,
    Chuck.

    Way to eat
    Hi Sweet, glad to hear your weight is up, over twenty pounds from your least. More glad to hear you are eating more (I know they are somehow related). Like you, my taste is still lagging, but to enjoy eating something again, that's the bomb. You deserve every pound.

    best, Hal

    I tried the pills for a month. They didn't give me any extra saliva, but they made me sweat when I ate, and the backs of my hands sweat. Weird. I forget if that was on the list if side effects or not.

    I know the pills work for some people. I am happy you are having good results. I am missing my left gland entirely, so there was only the fried right one to get anything out of. :)

    You know, I had blue berries in my hand today, and I put them back because I keep trying them, and they don't work for me. They seem to be too tart or something, and then the seeds hurt my tongue, and get stuck in the stricture. I even tried them in a smoothie with no luck. Maybe I will give them a go again next month. Who knows, might work next time.
