Good News From the Doc

The problem with my throat is healing on its own and will not require additional surgery. It's been a little over 2 weeks since the surgery to remove the lump in my neck. It only took six weeks for that to grow from nothing to the size of an egg. After two weeks there is no indication of any regrowth of the lump.

No regrowth of the lump means two good things. 1) That's an indication that the source of everything was removed, even though it was never confirmed that it was found. 2) The remaining radiation and chemo treatments are mainly a follow-up procedure to make sure that what was already done is all that ever needs to be done.

I got the first group of staples removed today. By my count it was about 20 of them.
