in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I had the appointment with the oncologist for the 6 month post radiation (3 post chemo) follow-up this morning, and everything was normal. During the exam the oncologist reviewed the H&N MRI performed 1 week before (I didn’t know the results until this morning) and scoped the areas involved.

I was really worried, not that I had any particular reasons (other than having cancer before ;-)), but it was hard not to think of “what if…”

It looks like all the trouble (having the treatment, with all the present and future side effects) was worth it.

    Congrats!

    I often say it is easy to lose sight of the objective during tx when you are just trying to make it thru the day and then when you hear the words NED it all becomes worthwhile.
