Alright, I received a much more thorough review of my CT Scan this morning from Dr. Tsue and his Resident than I was expecting. So, I know I said I wouldn't be posting again until Friday but thought I'd go ahead today any way.
Bottom line, everything looks as good as can be expected at this point. There's still some swelling in my throat, a couple of my lymph nodes are still larger than "normal", but they said that all that is a reaction to the treatment. After reviewing the CT Scan, poking and prodding me and sticking things down my throat through my nose, they pronounced me in as good a shape as can be expected at this point.
Granted, they can't do a PET Scan yet, my left tonsil is still somewhat larger than my right and there's those couple of Lymph Nodes, so nothing's a lock or anything, but they were very positive about what they saw and certainly left me feeling pretty good.
So good news so far. Now, if I can just convince my oncologist to be as upbeat tomorrow I'll be feeling really good.
I did lose another 4 lbs since my last visit. Not a good thing. Me and my skeleton physique need to start eating.
