Happy new year to all! While Matt and I started 2010 with a shiver (we had no hot water New Years Eve day as well as all morning, New Years Day! due to the installation of a new water heater and some gas issues....all was resolved eventually, thank goodness) we are good now: Matt's mouth is healing "like a teenagers" - this per Dr. Ha, the oral surgeon at the check up on Thursday - and the swelling is down...this is good, and Cathy thinks bodes well for radiation too? One can always hope!
We did hear from the Mayo on Thursday and Matt has been set up for some blood tests and a review and consult around radiation down in Rochester on Wednesday, Jan. 6. This is ideal as we have an appointment on Thursday, Jan. 7, with Dr. H at Methodist for the making of the mask Matt will have to wear during treatment. I assume at that time we will also set with him - based on Matt's mouth heal factor - the start of the radiation treatment. So hopefully the consult with Mayo will jive with what we have heard from Dr. H and we will be in a good place in terms of the area of the neck and intensity of radiation as recommended.
More later this week!
