Yesterday I actually got some reasonably good news when Supergirl and I, visited my Oncology surgeon. Though I did not have any surgery this last go round, he is still very much vested as part of the overall team that is working on my problem.

He and his Nurse Practioner looked at both sides of my throat area by sending the nasal scope up and down through both my nostrils a few times. While they were in there they took a bunch of fun pictures. (I have had this crazy scope run up in my dainty little nose about 20 times in the last two years, so it doesn’t really affect me anymore. Now its more like, “...No problem, stick it to me...”)

After they examined the pictures for awhile, they said it appears like the recent Radiation and Chemo worked well and they saw no clinical evidence of cancer anymore.

Of course the full scans that are scheduled to be taken in the beginning of August will be a little more definitive, but the Doctor today was quite impressed and upbeat about it... uh, of course, so were we...

After that appointment I had to head over to the Speech and Swallow Clinic for a first appointment review to see what their plan will be. Even after they looked me over and saw my crazy half tongue and the total frame off restoration of my classic 1959 throat area, they were quite positive that they could help and get me going again and maybe get rid of my G tube so maybe I can gain some weight back... I am currently down to size 30-30 pants, after having lost 121 lbs now from not being able to eat or drink anything at all for over 10 months now.

This was good news but I only say “reasonably good news” because this is such a rollercoaster ride I have been on for almost 2 years now and have heard statements of cancer free before only for them to change their minds a few months later. I am trying to stay positive though as I have a lot people working on me trying to fix this.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Its working...

Yeah, I suppose you're right... I am doing much better though... I am mowing my own lawn, cleaning our pool myself, going kayaking, playing disc golf. I also was able to go to NC to see a granddaughter graduate from HS about a week ago. Things are definitely looking up... I even bought the Mrs a new car and I did the ceramic coating on it myself...

Bet it picked your spirits up. When you don't post. We start to worry. You're one of us.

The first wifey. She would go through 5 chemo treatments. They said if the numbers stay down after the 6th. You're in remission. She would get that 6 th treatment and the numbers would shoot up. We did this for over 3 years. It was a rollercoaster ride. I kept all of the medical billing. It added up to 2.7 million.

Got a good chuckle out of me. And then Susan asked why I'd want to switch to Sprint for better signal...
