Ed,

You are such sweetheart. Your posts are so thoughtful and caring.

Gary,

You are so awesome!

My mom just got out of the doctors office and he is amazed with her progress he says she looks better than anybody he has seen go through what she went through and amazingly her speech is better now after the radiation than before she started (because of her tongue being 2/3 smaller than it used to be). He sees nothing out of the ordinary and thinks the dentist is just referring to scar tissue on her tiny little tongue. He will not do another PET scan until she is six months post radiation due to the scar tissue etc and says its not really worth it because everything will light up on the scan if he does one now. So I am happy and relieved. If I get anymore scares though I will seriously think about taking something for my anxiety. I'm here at work practically climbing the walls while I waited for her appointment to be over and for the phone call from my sister. But its good news and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for getting me through the tough times!

Dani
