Updates/Radiation

Went to Big Duke today and saw the head of Head & Neck Oncology, Dr David Brizel. Seems my prognosis is much better than even I thought! He did an exam, ran the scope down my throat, made some videos/photos of my Larynx, etc. He stated I need 4 weeks of MILD radiation which should cause little discomfort, only a little fatigue, nothing more. I'm having it all done in Raleigh and it's set to begin second week of May. I'm glad I went the Duke route, my experience today was incredible...they treated me like I was a famous actor! These folks are a CLASS ACT! The only bad news I have is my normal Neurological symptoms are now back, lower back trouble, headaches, numbness, tingling, shakes, etc. Back to the Neurologist next week for Evoked Potential studies, ugh. Seems all I do lately is go to medical appointments.......
