Hi Cheryl,

I am out of the hospital now, and the wound from the infection is 90% healed. It will be another couple of weeks before it will be completely healed before they can start radiation. Haven't got a schedule yet but will when I see Dr. Bayley. Still waiting to get that appointment.

I will be back next Thursday to see Dr. Golstein to check on the healing of the infection wound and hopefully everything is fine.

Right now the home care nurse is changing the gauze packing below my chin.

Did you stay at the lodge when you went through the treatments?
