Guest DaveG Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 In addition to my oncology appointment today I had a swollow test. I had been experiencing problems with food or drink coming right back up on me. The swollow test showed that all is well - no tumors or malformations in my esophogus. I was positioned in a way where I was able to see everything happening on the monitor and the radiologist was very informative and pointed out different anatomical features for me and explained quite well what was going on. The bottom line is that they think I am eating or drinking too fast - this is possible. My oncology appointmtent was pretty cut and dry. She asked how I am doing and I told her "Quite well, thank you." She was elated over that. We discussed some little aches, pains, and concerns, for which she said we need to be aware and watch them. I really didn't have much to tell her as, right now, I am doing pretty good. So, all in all, it was a good appointment and she was happy that I am doing ok.

ginnyde Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Dave, I once read that Nancy Reagan chewed each bite 19 times - this helped her stay thin. A little excessive - but - maybe you could do 5 chews. So very glad to hear that you heard good news. Yeah!!!!!!! Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering Dave Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 David G, very uplifting to see such a good post from you! I hated to see your "restaging" back in April so soon after Dave and I joined the board, so this is certainly great to see! It's encouraging stories such as yours that keep us going. Hang in there and God Bless, Karen C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
