quick note

Just wanted to let everyone know that Glen did go see Dr. Yom on Thursday to try to figure out a way to lessen the throat pain. Of course she took the opportunity to examine his neck/throat. One thing she is very clear about is that she trusts the "feel" of her exams more than some of those fancy tools the hospitals use. She told Glen that in one week since his last exam, his lymph nodes feel completely normal. She also scoped him. (That's the really fun "camera down his nose" tool---eeewww!!!) It too looked mostly normal, or what he says is his "new" normal. That's what we wanted to hear!!!!! She had told us last week that the nodes might be swollen because they are doing their job...apparently, she was right...again!

So...now we wait for the PET scan-probably later this month....

PS We're watching the Cal v Ducks game right now...not quite sure who to root for (actually Glen is rooting for Cal - it's me who's conflicted)...such a dilemna...
