Joan, glad to hear we are getting
George all straightened out there. Funny life in which we live. Also
thank you for your kind words and prayers. Your friend,
Lillian
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
