in Head and Neck Cancer #1

UPDATE:

Saw my ENT/Surgeon today at nearly 5 months post treatment. Scoped, poked and prodded. All looks great! No concerns. Next appointment in November. Off the narcs, still healing and coming along nicely.

    Hi T,

    One good tongue pull deserves another.  The results are in and they are joyfully satisfying.

    Great news!

    Happy News

    I am very happy for you, T.  Getting off the narcs didn't seem to take too long.  It seems like just a short time ago you talked about trying to stop them cold turkey.  I am thrilled to hear all of your good news!

    I knew you'd be clean :)

    but I just never had the chance to tell you before you went to the Dr.  I like going to the ENT between scans....makes me feel like someone is looking out for me, and I always leave with my relief "refreshed", if you know what I mean.

    So......WONDERFUL!!! Laughing

    No More Scans

    P,

    Unless they see/feel something that raises a red flag or I have any symptoms pointing in the wrong direction, I won't be scanned again. Scoped yes, scanned no. They said maybe a chest x ray once a year. In fact, I won't see my ENT again until February. He and my RO are going to take turns seeing me every three months so it will be 6 months between seeing them. I'll see my MO and SLP every three for now. 

    But yes, even though it was a month from the last check, it was great to hear the all clear and looks good. The last month since the scan has shown many improvements both physical and mental. I still have a way to go but I'm a far cry ahead of where I've been :)

    Thank you and everyone for your kind words and encouragement. 

    "T"

    Good news....

    Good news....these checkups can bring a little anxiety prior to going...but it's so nice to walk out with that peace of mind each time. Keep moving along with life....it's beautiful! Laughing
