Hello all smile

A quick update. David's appointment in Indianapolis August 09 went well - tests all clear.

Fast forward to today. He has a hole w/ white patches opposite side of his primary. Hoping it is nothing - but waiting on the ENT to have someone local take a look at it, hopefully tomorrow. Will update as soon as we know.

He's regained all of his taste, and is putting some weight on post Radiation - so that's a positive.

Just putting one foot in front of the other right now (even if it does feel like we're on a treadmill and going nowhere).

If he's recovered all his taste buds this early in recovery, he's doing darn good. Best to you all.
