Update from New Radiologist

Hey all, I just wanted to drop in and say hello before I go in tomorrow morning. I met with my 'new' Radiologist yesterday (after I said no to the first guy) This 'new' Radiologist was know as the best in the area and I wanted him initially from his reputation here in town. Anyway, he took one look at my lesion and immediately wanted to call my surgeon to let him know that my case was perfect for using Brachytherapy.

I wasn't to sure about this type of radiation/procedure but because most of my lesion is growing out, rather than inside the tongue. He believes that the surgeon should be able to salvage quite a bit more of the tongue by using a smaller area of margin. This may save almost an inch all the way around the lesion. So finally I feel like I got some good news. He showed me pictures on his iPhone of almost an exact same case from one of his patients and said he is doing great. So we will see how it goes. The team seems like they are now all on the same page and communication is where it needs to be, before tomorrow.

For the first time in nearly a month I was able to sleep through most of the night.

Much Love,

~ Bob
