Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | Had a second CAT scan yesterday and the entire airway is open again. The tumor has all but vanished. They are altering the IMRT programming as a result (it'll still be 33 treatments though).
Day 3 post chemo and had a rough day -almost went back to ER (w/fever) But managed to get enough pain killers down me (pink magic, Vicodin and a transdural Fentnyl pain patch and that did the trick) so I could get enough water and food in me to restabilize.
