How have you been??

I hope you've been OK.. 

Do you eat much dairy??

I've been eating coconut yoghurt this past week it's yummm. 

Hey I'm wondering did they remove your nerve ??

Has it left you completely numb??

Take care

Re: head and neck cancer

Hello Marg

Nice to hear from You..

My appointment was ok.

As my pain had really settled to quite minimal and my energy levels have been fairly good and no raging infection they said they will treat those who are in agony and see me in 3mths...

I was kind of relieved.

Even though my face has sunk from under my ear to half way to my chin it has just sunk there's no definitive jaw line..

They said it will be the neucrosis..

Today I was putting some numbing gel in my mouth and what I thought was painful from perhaps my teeth hitting it as my bitebis out of alignment turned out to be somthing very hard spikey like bone but it is in my cheek.inside my mouth but on my cheek side..mystery ????

Thank you for asking  how have you been??
