Well, here it is February 26th and radiation is finished, for now anyway. On the most recent PET scan there was a small uptake on the base of the tongue. This is new, and may be an anomaly or cancer. We will find out next week, the oncologist said it is rare but not uncommon to see lung and throat cancer at the same time. He is pretty amazed on how I do with treatment, he said, 'we'll treat that also, if that is what it is'. He did finally talk me into Oxy for pain.

I am also having a sciatic episode going on from playing the second round of golf since last August. I've had them before, so I know what they are like, not pleasant. I am having a CAT scan tomorrow on the hips to clear any thoughts of bone cancer.

I went and saw an excellent Chiropractor this afternoon, he also thinks it is the sciatic. He also got it to pop back in. Sore but feel much better.

I won't be interrupting my treatments this year to come back to Michigan. We will stay down here until it is done.
