It's official...

[Solly Mack]

No more cancer.


But I still have to go 3 times a year to the maxillofacial surgeon to check for potential problems, as well as more frequent visits to my regular dentist to check for problems. (Because it could come back)

The scan showed no problems (didn't spread).

The check-up today showed a healthy mouth...healthy tissue/gums/tongue....no growths...no nothing to worry about.

Of course I'll still worry. Can't help it.


Still.....I am very happy.


Thank you so much for being there for me.

A special shout-out to Mira. I can't express enough just how much you've helped me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you!


I love you all!

When I was told I was in remission I was thrilled....but when they told me today that my mouth was healthy and well....I was relieved.

Now I just have to keep it that way!

48. Thanks, ohheckyeah!

How are you doing?

[ohheckyeah]

49. thanks for asking

I'm going to rehab - still struggling with arm pain. Not walking yet.

[Solly Mack]

50. I'm sorry to hear that.

Do they have you on pain management? Or is it a case of rehab/therapy?

I'll keep you in my thoughts for a full recovery.

[ohheckyeah]

51. I can't really take most pain pills.

It's mainly rehab right now. I see a physical medicine rehab specialist on the 21st. He may want to do botox or steroid shots....yuk. I don't like needles but I'll do what I have to do.

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

[Mz Pip]

[Solly Mack]

53. Thanks, Mz Pip!
