As I posted before, CT revealed an area in my throat that required further examination. They did a scope on Monday and advise there is swelling on the right side of my voice box, as well as swelling in the tissues around the voice box, but no "angry" tissue and no sign of cancer. Swelling deemed to be radiation related. Next scan Oct 2nd.

WHEW!!!

Thanks all for your support - I'm sure I'll be back here around Oct 10th all worried about the next scan results!! At least I am predictable. As Brian said in a post...Welcome to Survivorship
