Big "C"...

Excellent news on the margins. That's a big deal right there.

Use whey and added creatine. Both will help with weight, immunity, and recoup. Ping me if I can assist with any helpful intel.

Yeah when I got the pathology results after my prostate removal the comment on the margins being negative was what gave me a sigh of relief more than anything.

Late to the thread.

Prayers for a rapid and complete recovery.

Saw plastics today, got all of my tubes, wires, and sutures removed. Pleased with healing. I still have massiter muscle inflammation, so I can't open my mouth wide, so still on liquids and purees. All in all optimistic about progress.

ENT working with radiation-oncology about radiation, I should know next week what that looks like.

Glad you got to the next step towards healing. I can’t imagine how good it must feel just to get this part done.

Have a great Thanksgiving brother! I would make a joke about puree-ing turkey but I won't!

Happy Thanksgiving Doc. Hoping for your continued success.

Wishing I still had contacts at NASA, I'd try to hook you up with some of that "Turkey with gravy" in a tube.

I hope you're enjoying your Thanksgiving.
Sounds like you're doing well, Good Luck...
Set next to the mashed potatoes and gravy, makes a hell of a smoothie.

Saw radiology oncologist today. First time I've actually talked "cancer". She said that the tumor was high grade, rare, and in a rare location. Radiation will reduce the chance of recurring by 90%. But, any cells left over have a good chance of spreading, and there's y one in three chance it'll spread to the chest. So, after radiation, I'll get chest CTs every 3 months for at least three years.

Radiation will start in a couple weeks, it'll be M-F for 6 weeks. I'll likely have a permanent vision field cut in my right eye, fatigue for a couple months, burned cheek, probably lose taste for a while.

Use the break in treatment to enjoy the holidays on your own pace. I hope you get to take it easy with your family and recharge your batteries before you have to start the next batch of treatment. Hang in there!

Well I hope your feeling a bit better for the Holidays.
It sounds like you have a handle on it, Good Luck.
