I can't believe it's been a month since my last blog post. I'm back to work full time and have been completely preoccupied with the holidays and such.
The last month has been like a visit to hell and back. Once my neck started to feel better the left side of my face blew up and I started getting really bad migraines. I had an appointment with my cancer doctor the last week of December, and he could see what bad shape i was in. We decided that we would wait another month to begin my radiation.
Today, I’m having a tooth pulled. YES! Over the past few months I’ve seen at least 6 different dentists all with differing opinions about my facial pain. My Mom suggested that I pay a visit to her Periodontitis, because even though he may not be able to help me, he will at least take the time to listen and maybe point me in the right direction. After having one meeting with him, he initiated a conference call with all of my other doctors and developed a plan of attack. Thank goodness for him!
I'm going back to the cancer doctor in a week, and at that point I’ll have to stop my thyroid medication, and go on a low iodine diet, in preparation for my radiation treatment. I'll be off of my meds for about two weeks.
Sorry to cut this blog short, but I have to scoot out of here to get some teeth yanked out! Wish me luck! Toothless Annie, out.
