Some New and Long-Overdue Updates

First of all, my apologies for keeping those of you in suspense who have been checking my blog periodically to hear how everything went in the end.  Life got crazy - like usual.  Anyways, I finished all 17 rounds of radiation with no problem - my swallowing never became unbearable and my skin never blistered.  I had even purchased a tube of RadX in anticipation of my skin becoming extremely irritated and never used it.  Within about three days my swallowing was back to normal, but it did take a couple weeks for the pink color to fade.  

Then after finishing treatments in early November I didn't do anything medically related up until last week when I popped in for a visit to see my oncologist.  As far as things go for follow-up it's not that exciting.  I just show up in about 6 months for a CT scan and some blood work.  Pretty easy I think.  I thought she would have requested a PET scan but actually it's not recommended.  I think it was because of the possibility of getting false positives.  

I did get my port out as well last week.  That went pretty well and I was only a little bit sore for a few days.  They did this at the hospital and provided some great drugs to allow me to sleep through the whole thing, which I was completely happy with.  Basically the procedure was they cleaned the area, re-opened the original incision site, took out the port and glued/steri-stripped the incision back up.  In fact, they were even so nice as to clean and give the port back to me haha. 

So until 6 months go by, I won't have any updates.  I may go back though and add any tidbits of info I may have left out and forgotten to put in my posts.  Happy Holidays everyone!
