Thanks for the concern ....this tumor is taking it's own sweet time. Went to md anderson last week for 3 days of exams and Dr visits and the conclusion was " come back in 3 months". I thought I was going to get scheduled for surgery to remove the remnants of the tumor that they shot full of radiation and chemo ....but seems although it has shrunk....it is continuing to shrink and they want to give it time to shrink on it's own down to as small as it will go before they finally cut out what's left. So-o-o....we wait again. Also my mouth is still swollen more than they had hoped and they want to give it some more healing time. They were initially surprised that I wasn't eating more solid foods yet -- until they looked in my mouth, then it was "well...no wonder".....so we're back home on "recovery time" until November 14.
Well, I know it's bad news about the mouth and the fact that it hasn't shrunk enough yet to remove the remnants, but at least it's good news that it's still shrinking. We'll still be praying for better times ahead for you.
