The tumors are not necrotic yet. They are growing. They are hoping the rad & chemo will kill them.
In or near the nodes I have no idea. They removed 44 with 5 positive.
I have a bad feeling about this. It feels like they are bigger now than this morning and I have a hard spot right on the jaw bone that was not there this morning.
I am having my daughter take a picture in a minute. Then I will take one picture everyday to see facial changes. I told her I want to monitor the changes in my features through rad & chemo.
I have asked my wife not to mention the new tumors to our kids. No need for chaos and worry until I can not hide the fact if they keep growing.
My question, is this normal?
