I am so happy to report that Clark's PET/CT results were very good. Activity was related to inflammation in the jaw from surgery, and aspiration in the lungs. Very common in H&N Ca patients. He had an appointment with a pulmonologist who recommended repeating the CT in 8 weeks. No reason to worry.

As far as Clark's jaw pain, the Head and Neck surgeon identified it as "First Bite Syndrome". It may go away or not. But having a name and someone recognizing it as a real thing was wonderful. We should have gone back to the H&N surgeon a lot sooner. I LOVE that guy!!!! He really knows his stuff. He recommended that Clark see a guy in the dental department that specializes in jaw and mouth pain. Appointment is in August.

Clark is so much happier and more relaxed. We are enjoying our time by golfing, being with family and rebuilding our home. Check out the pix on FB of the demo. Very cool.

All my best--

Yeah Anita!!! So happy to hear the good report about Clark. Enjoy your summer and now you can both "relax and breathe". Good luck with the house and let's get together soon.

Thanks, Wanda. Yes, things sure look better now. I will be back and forth with this house project, so getting together will be fun and so nice to look forward to. Talk to you soon!

Will we see you in September at Susan Lauria's walk in NJ? Or are you able to make the Bethlehem walk in Oct, or perhaps both? Hope to see Wanda there too

Great news for you and Clark. Have seen the photo's and it looks like an exciting time ahead of you. Pretty area with all those trees around.

Thank you all for your posts. Christine, I am hoping to both walks.

Gabe, one of the reasons for rebuilding was the beautiful setting. We didn't want to leave!
