Hi all,
I finally heard back from my surgeon and my PET scan is scheduled for a week from Friday on September 22. I am still having the intermittent head, ear, and every once in a while jaw and throat pain. I am praying this is just my nerves coming back after my surgery since that whole area was numb till about a month ago, but am really scared that the cancer has come back or that the cancer is now in my nerves. If you would keep me in your prayers I would very much appreciate it. I am trying to stay positive. I will admit though that some days are harder than others and the pain and fear overwhelm me.
