I opened up my blog again for the few who wander this way that may want to find the posts related to cancer treatment etc.
I'm still cancer free as far as anyone can tell despite some weird ass thing on my jaw xray's that was never really explained completely to my satisfaction but i decided to let it go.
The bumps in the floor of my mouth are scar tissue as best they can figure and to do anything with them would just cause more scar tissue. Okay i'll go along with that.
No one seems to know anything about the little doey's they saw on my chest xray so i'll just wait till next year to worry about that. ACC is slow growing so what the hell. :P
So it's been 2yrs since i was diagnosed and had my surgery. It's been just under 2yrs since i finished radiation and i would say most things are back to normal.
I still can't open my mouth wide enough to get a really good bite of a sandwich etc. That is probably the most annoying side effect.
I still have no feeling on the left side of my face/ear/neck which varies from numbness to tingling to no feeling at all. This i hardly notice at all and really isn't a big deal unless someone touches me which can hurt or just be kind of annoying.
My mouth is still partially paralysed in the lower left side but i hardly notice it at all anymore and i don't think other people really notice either.
Well i think that is about it. I still use the fluoride trays every night except for the odd miss. I still see the cancer dentist every 3mos... I go to the cancer clinic every 4mos... see the regular dentist every 6mos like normal and chest xrays every year.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
