Finally got news from the Tumor Board. They are not recommending radiation at this time!! Ernie is very happy. He was considering taking a pass even if the Board had recommended radiation. Very literally, "once burned, twice shy." We will go for the June PET scan as planned. Next steps will depend on what the scan shows.
The numbness in Ernie's shoulder neck, lip and ear is starting to go away. This is good news and bad news. He said the numbness was very weird and he worried that the feeling would never return to this area. However, the numbness also meant no pain. So, he is feeling pretty achy now--especially his shoulder. As usual, he refuses to take any pain killers. He starts his physical therapy on Monday. We are hoping that will help alleviate the aches and pains.
