Thanks again for resteeming my blogs and for the video which you nicely embedded here. I got the results from my PET/CT scan taken on May 2, and they were, per my radiation oncologist, "excellent" and "wonderful". But I'm not out of the woods yet, there is still some activity on my tongue that is "lighting up" a little bit. She says if the cancer comes back, they will do surgery -- that is the only option they have in their "standard of care". So it is up to me to do what I can to avoid that and adopting the Paleo Diet or the Ketogenic Diet would surely help. I have to psyche myself up for the challenge -- I know how hard it is to stick to the Ketogenic Diet as I tried to do it for a couple months last October - November.
Also, I am paying a price for taking the radiation and chemo. My sub-mandibular saliva glands are totally shot. The underside of my tongue dries out very quickly and interferes with my sleep (if anyone knows an effective way to keep your mouth closed while sleeping, please let me know). This lack of saliva will impact the health of my teeth and gums. Also, I have noticed subtle changes in my coordination and balance that may be due to chemo -- I know, I'm speculating -- and frequent trigger finger, especially when I try to play guitar. They say it takes 2 years to recover from radiation and chemo so maybe things will improve.
I was desperate and that is the only reason I took the radiation and chemotherapy.
