Ten Weeks Post Treatment - Healing continues, but that tender mouth and tender tonsil area continues. Mouth is still sensitive to hot or spicy foods. I had a margarita with mexican food last night and both the drink and food stung throughout the meal. Once eating is over the tenderness goes away. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow for a full set of dental x-rays to see what/if I have any treatment induced teeth damage. I need to be more disciplined in my use of fluoride trays.

That and a pretty good case of dry mouth are my only remaining symptom, the new girlfriend says the hair on back of my neck is coming back in, will likely be back to normal in 30 days or so.

The weight is remaining constant at 193 plus or minus 1 pound. I almost never eat lunch anymore as a way to maintain weight and brekfast and supper are small but nutritious. Energy level is good, but I don't yet have the endurance I had prior to surgery and treatment. That will come back in time.

It seems like improvement has slowed, but maybe that's because the bulk of healing has already occured.

take care
Tony

Edit: Dentist decided that the last thing my mouth needed was more radiation, so she has put x-rays off for awhile. So we just did a teeth cleaning and polish.
