Return to normalcy

I may need you to speak for me, to lift something for me, to wait on me while I slowly chew my food. This is now my normal way of life, often a burden to those around me, especially loved ones. For that I am sorry.

This phase may be perhaps the hardest part of dealing with cancer. Nothing I do can change what is.

That is the question.

I saw my CyberKnife radiation oncologist today. Since my last two PET scans were clear, I no longer need to see him. He recommends that I get the vocal cord injection for my vocal cord paralysis.

We have made it three years. Let's go have a beer. I'm buying.
