Pulling all possible strings ..

5 days of radiation done post the break. And one chemo. And trust me, the impact of break is already gone. The unease already set in, even if there was a weekend in the middle.

And most concerning thing is the swelling, salivary gland seems to be still active and happily secreting.

But, the doctors are pulling all strings possible. My surgeon ordered a few Hyocine patches from U.K (not available here) which now sticks behind my left here, to inactivate the parotid  gland.

Radiation doctor, was sympathetic to the current state of being, and wants a re-evaluation of the package.

Next Monday, I will go for another CT Scan, and based on that he would take a call on whether we can stop rest of the Chemos and re-evaluate the number of radiation sessions.

Couple  of the things both doctors are saying confidently ( very heartening )  -

1. There is not visible indication of any tumor left

2. After the therapy stops, most troubling impacts, like taste of food, opening of mouth, radiation burns from cheek,  severe 24x7 nausea, all that will recover and gradually become normal in 4-6 weeks.

Each moment that comes to me  passes extremely leisurely.
