Nothing really to report, now. Tomorrow will mark seven months since treatment ended. I think back on all the improvements I've made in that time and how lucky I feel that all my scans have been clean to date. I just hope the progress and the clean scans continue.
Lyphedema treatment continues, though my therapist is on vacation most of this week so I only have one treatment. But that really seems to be helping with my tongue pain, my voice is improving and, visually, I'm starting to see some improvement as well. I don't understand how/why this helps with my tongue pain but it was hurting pretty badly for several weeks and, with no other changes, has improved a lot during the four weeks of treatment. So I guess it's because of the treatment. I won't argue, regardless.
At work I move to the downtown office on Tuesday morning. So tomorrow will be spent packing and Tuesday will be spent unpacking. Should be a fun couple of days.
I go see my Radiation Oncologist on Friday this week and that kicks off this round of Doctor Appointments. Then I have scans the 17th, Dr. Williamson (Oncologist) the 24th and Dr. Tsue August 6th.
I've had lunch a couple of times with Jeff, my treatment partner who's had cancer show up in his lungs. His medication he was taking to slow/stop the growth hasn't done what the doctor wanted it to do. So he's stopped that and is weighing his options with a few different treatment paths. At the same time, he said he feels great right now and, if it weren't for the scans, would have no idea anything were wrong. That along with a great attitude and a strong faith is keeping him going. But keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
