Hello ... BillieD ... correct me if I'm wrong but your son should be finishing up with his fifth week of radiation treatment ... hope all is going well for him ... and how is the thrush doing ... were we able to get rid of it .. how is he holding up with the other side effects that have been reported so often on this site .. and also, how are you holding up ... hoping you both peace and strength

Good morning .. BillieD ... was just curious about how you and your son have been doing .. if I'm not mistaken, you have started radiation treatments .. would like to know how things have been going .. how are you both holding up ... and am wishing both of you strength and as much happiness as possible ... understanding that both are probably being tested right now. Hang in there ... at some point, you know it will end.

hello ... BillieD ... was just curious about how your son ... and you have been doing .. hope you both are doing as well as possible ... I have had a CT scan performed and now must wait till May 28th for my ENT appt. to get the official results .. have heard that there were no nodules found .. which is great news .. but am still experiencing the sore voice box and irritation on right side of tongue ... though not as bad ... and now am starting to feel a lack of sensitivity or irritation on the tip of tongue ... this patience practicing sometimes gets the best of me .. but it helps knowing that others have gone before me .. and have weathered the same trials and tribulations .. and have endured. Wishing you both the best ....
