Getting ready for cancer treatment
I was at the hospital yesterday for a dentist to look my mouth over to decide what and how many teeth I was going to lose before the Radiotherapy begins on my cancer. I was told that teeth sometimes interferes with the treatment so they remove any suspect teeth BEFORE the treatments begin. I guess it could be worse. At least they are letting me keep my arms and legs. For now anyway.
All he did this time was put me in that chair and probe around my mouth. After a few menacing AAA'S and oooh's on his part he let me get up and proceeded to tell me that some would have to go but first he wanted x-rays to verify his suspicions. So inside my head, I'm thinking don't they usually come first? But remember, you are not in the US. They do things differently here. Like put the cart before the horse and say PUSH!!
So I have to go back in a couple weeks for x-rays and a teeth pulling party. I don't expect to see balloons and scantily clothed women wanting me to put some colonies in their underwear. Darn, that would make everything more palatable.
So with those two added appointments and one with a nutritionist, that was added yesterday, I am up to 15 total for this month. I hope they decide to start the treatments BEFORE they test me to death!!
More to come.......
