Hi all,

Bob has finished all of his treatments as of today. I wish to thank this board. The information really did help me get him through it. He was a little bit of a bear(ok I will be honest he was a big bear)but we made it through.

The next hurdle is the complications from what was done. He has trismus(to what extent I am not sure),limited mobility of his left arm, his speach is nonexistent, a mouth full of pain and he of course that rope like stuff he spits out.I know his hearing was already not the greatest,when will we start to see a change if there is going to be one?

We have an ENT appt. tomorrow and then we will go from there. If any one has any advice I will gladly use it.


Thank you
Deb
