in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Had a little cancer scare last week when our new primary care physician considered some symptoms worrisome.  Not cancer but rather neurological.  Jim had three mini-strokes last weekend.  He has fully recovered.  This has been a real fear since he developed dysautonomia and one I was hoping would never come to reality.

Dysautonomia is believed to have developed perhaps because of head and neck treatment.  It is not possible to control his blood pressure.
