Hey Jim,
I've been thinking about you and hoping you are ok while waiting this out.
When I was reading your posts I thought of how my mom would feel. I don't know if you recall, she also had brachy therapy. In the beginning she would tell me it felt like there were little men in her mouth with knives stabbing her tongue. I told her your recent posts and she cried for you, said she couldn't imagine how much it hurt you. I may be wrong but I believe those seeds they implanted are still active? I can't help but wonder if that caused you even more pain? I think about you everyday and know that you are constantly in my prayers. I hope the pain subsides very soon and that you hear good news tomorrow.
Love,
Donna
