Treatments Continue plus Work Changes

I've now had four Lymphedema treatments with some results. The Therapist is confident I'll see much broader results than I was expecting so I hope she knows what she's talking about. She expects reduced swelling on the outside but also improvements internally that should HELP with swallowing, discomfort, voice quality and pain reduction.

Visually the swelling you can see in my neck has decreased some and my adam's apple is a bit more visible. Tongue pain has decreased pretty dramatically in these two weeks. Unsure how much of that to attribute to the treatments but I'll take it. But, I'm two weekds in to eight weeks of treatment and I'm happy with the early results. Hopefully those will continue.

Had some cost-reduction type changes at work last week. Several people lost their jobs. I'm fortunate enough to still be on the payroll but will be changing positions, moving back to our downtown office from the Grandview office, getting a new boss and serving in a different role. Kinda a stressful situation. But, like I said, I'm fortunate to still be employed so I'm thankful for that.

July will bring about my next tour of Doctor's offices. I'll have appointments with my Radiation Oncologist, my Oncologist and my ENT Oncologist spread out through the month with my next set of scans mixed in there on July 17th. My first appointment after the scans is on July 24th so that's when I'll get those results. Almost 5-weeks away but the suspense is already starting to build. I guess I just have to get used to that but no matter how well previous scans have gone, scans still carry with them a full set of anxiety each time.

That's today's update.
