Got the results of my CT Scan today. Doc said we had mixed results from the recent chemo drugs. Some small suspect areas are gone or were reduced in size while the main small tumor in my left jaw grew a little. She is sending back to the Rio Grande Valley with orders for my oncologist to try one of the older drugs plus a new one. and we will follow up in 3 months with another CT scan .

I let the pain management Doc do a surgery procedure on my jaw using Radio Frequency to make a jaw nerve stop hurting. Plus he injected some pain killers. Seems like it helped a little. We will see.

We ar both glad that MD Anderson experts are there for us but we are glad to be out of that atmosphere with about 10000 cancer paitients a day visiting the facility.They are so busy. we actually waited 3 hours after getting into the exam room to see my oncologist.

Thanks for the prayers, they really help
