Fast forward to today. He has a hole w/ white patches opposite side of his primary. Hoping it is nothing - but waiting on the ENT to have someone local take a look at it, hopefully tomorrow. Will update as soon as we know. He's regained all of his taste, and is putting some weight on post Radiation - so that's a positive. Just putting one foot in front of the other right now (even if it does feel like we're on a treadmill and going nowhere). -Philly Mom of 4, wife and caregiver to David, 37 yrs old, diagnosed 12/4/08 SSC T4NXMX Maxillectomy on 1/8/09. 19 out of 30 scheduled rounds of IMRT Radiation Therapy. Cancer free!! (Last checkup 8/09) Next 10/23/09
