There was a huge curiosity in me as to how the golf ball is coming back in a jiffy after being taken away completely ?
I understood earlier, that the salivary glands secret in to the pocket created by the flap. Rock solid theory and aspiration helps it.
But after 15 radiations done ? The gland is still active ?
Just after 1 day of getting it aspirated, I dropped a message to my surgeon, if I can get another aspiration done. And to my surprise, it was clear saliva around 20 ml. Not thick like last time.
Which to a lay man indicates fresh formation. So the gland is active even after close to 50% of the radiation is done.
Truly appreciate the surgeon accommodating my experiments providing time.
But this time I went to meet him, I got much more. I found two other patients, going through almost same procedures.
A base to start a support group ! Soon ...
