Last Thursday, May 31st, Richard had a CT scan of his head and neck at M.D.Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Because his radiation treatments were interrupted by his illness last winter about half way through the planned six-week course, the status of his cancer was unclear. The scan showed no remaining cancer. We are so grateful for this news.
Richard continues the slow process of recovering from the effects of his treatment. By coincidence, we met up in the head and neck clinic waiting room with two people who were treated for similar cancers at the same time as Richard. Both of them reported that they too were still suffering from the effects of the treatment. We were told by a doctor in the clinic that these effects would gradually abate until a year from the end of Richard's treatments, and that after a year he'd know what the bottom-line residual effects would be.
Thanks for all the continuing support from all our friends! Much love.
