. . . to nuts!! Dougie has been steadily improving every day, so he decided to try some Walnuts yesterday and for whatever reason, the third nut went down and caused an immediate severe pain in his head! Before yesterday, he had not taken any percocet (pain med) in several days. So he learned. . . no nuts!!
The mass in his mouth was palpable on his neck, and now, on day 13 from the day of chemo, you cannot really feel it anymore. His tongue was lifting up on the left side when he opened his mouth, and you could see the tumor at the back of his throat two weeks ago. That is also much improved, you can only see it if you go digging way back in there with a flashlight and a tongue depressor!! The tumor is shrinking!! Whoo Hoo!!
His only issue now is some fatigue which goes along with cancer and chemotherapy, and is completely manageable! We are very thankful! I also have to give a shout out to my buddies Bill, Val, Maddie and Cody. They came over after church yesterday and helped us get our tree out of the house and they stayed to help me take down the Christmas decorations, and vacuum up the tons of pine needles left on the floor. Thank you guys for helping us out!!! Ya’ll ROCK!! 🙂

I am so happy to hear that the tumor is shrinking. Remember you have the power of prayer on your side too my friend. Looking forward to hearing more good news 🙂
No more nuts for you buddy!

Yes, I will be staying away from the nuts. Ouch!
I also want to thank the Jones family for their help yesterday. It returned our house to a livable state for Laurie and I appreciate that.
Tumor-b-gone soon. Hurray!
Nuts are overrated 😉
Thank the Lord, Thank the Lord, Thank the Lord, you are doing better; as long as you stay away from nuts!! Keep doing well and we’ll continue praying.
Susan has been keeping me posted but just read your updates myself. Thank the Lord you are making progress. We have been praying for you and will continue to do so.
Doug!
Dean was telling me about the nut thing, that’s wild! I’m so glad you’re beginning to feel a little better, let me know if we can help you out!
Love You bro!
