It is sort of neat to be able to have George go to a doctor and come with
something totally unrelated to cancer. First, when his white blood count
comes back up he can have the offending tooth pulled and a partial built,
that should help him a lot as he likes to eat, that is one of our biggest
blessings right now. Second, the ENT told him that he has TMJ and when
the cancer doctor says he can, to take anti-inflammatories, also that he
has arthritis in his jaw. A swollen gland indicates some leftover infection
from the tooth he had pulled this last summer and had pieces of bonework
out of his jaw. He took so many antibiotics for this that he got thrush,
really a bad siege of it, and that is now pretty well cleared up. So, we
felt we had a very successful day. What can you do about aromas that bother
him? Does anyone else have this same problem? Oh yes, the doc cauterized
his nose that was bleeding and raw. That should help too. Today we feel
like there's a whole lot of people out there who need help more than we
do. You are all a very brave bunch of people out there. Joan
I wanted you to know
that I will be praying for George...what did the dentist and the new ENT
say today? Please keep us posted and know that we are here for you..
God Bless you , Carla
