MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH SURGEON & DENTIST

Since I have a follow up appointment with DR.Wood my dentist at Princess Margaret Hospital, I thought I would also see Dr Gullan my surgeon again. I have had difficulties eating solid food and often my throat feels as if it is closing up which is not a nice feeling. I was told that this is all part of the healing process after the surgery but one can never be too careful. This is so different from the old John Lawrence who always put off doctors and dentist. Not anymore as I have learned that early detection can save your life. More details next week.

GOOD NEWS AFTER TEST COMES BACK

A meeting with Dr.Hope gave me very good news. The surgeon, Dr. Gullane had removed 15 lymph nodes from my neck and sent them to be tested for cancer. The results from the pathology tests came back negative with no traces of any cancer in them. I was elated with the results and thanked Dr Hope for the great news. At my meeting the following week with Dr.Gullane I thanked him also. He said that my neck and throat will take about another 1 to 2 months to heal and it will be about 1 to 2 years to get everything back to normal. I have another appointment with Dr.Hope in December to follow up on everything. More posts after that, in the mean time I am still praising the Lord for answer to prayer. "I will live and not die and will proclaim the glorious works of the Lord" The word from the Lord given to me back in April of this year.
