I went through radiation. It sounds trite but you take it one day at a time. "Today is Monday, I have radiation at 9:00," like that.

You have my very fond wishes for a successful outcome.

Hey Sir.

You're doing really well. I'm glad you're still posting on Wrong Planet.

How's the speech therapy coming along?

I wish you the best, my friend.

Speech and swallow therapy is coming along slowly. I can swallow water easily now using a syring. I can only speak using gutteral sounds. Nuking the area for 6 weeks will probably slow things down or set things back.

Thank you for all the support.

I liked the sentiments in this blessing.

Quote:

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

You are in my thoughts ASPartOfMe.

Hang in there. This s**t sucks, but people are pulling for you.

Even WP's resident b***h admires the grace and fortitude with which you are handling this, and that's the highest praise. :heart:

Good News. The PET/CT scans showed no further cancer.

The treatments are scheduled to start Wendsday. Radiation 5 days a week, Chemo once a week for 6-7 weeks. A leave of abscence of some sort from WP will begin then.

Sounds like excellent news to me!

Always keep a positive attitude.

I am of the strong belief that a positive attitude promotes healing.
