I had a visual and manual examination of my throat and neck today. There is no sign of any regrowth of the cancer. Tomorrow I see my oncologist and I suspect he will be scheduling a PET scan to look for stuff that doesn't show up with visual and manual exams.
The cancer part of this seems to be going great and that's the ultimate battle that's going on.
The recovery from treatment isn't going as well. I'm stuck with "nothing by mouth" ( that includes water and beer - damn!) for at least another month. I've got an appointment with my primary care doctor in a little over a week - maybe I can convince her to schedule a swallow test. My neck and throat doctor doesn't think I'd pass one for a while. There's no benefit in having the test unless I pass it. Maybe I should listen to the throat guy.

Well, I am relieved to hear from you again, Merlin. I imagine it's hard to gain your weight back when you can't eat normally, but hopefully, your neck and throat will heal soon. Best of luck to you, my friend!
