@rubagaddal, any update about the cyst discovered on the left jaw and lung nodules? How are you doing?

@shielashepperd, I hope your voice continues to get stronger. Are you working with a speech pathologist?

@apple32, what a relief that early treatments have already relieved your husband's pain. Has he started radiation now?

Thank you for the information. I am currently on the waiting list for The Village at Mayo Clinic. If that does not work out an RV park may be possible since the winter visitors should be thinning out toward the end of the month.

Thank So much for your kind care about my situation now.
Yes, about the cyst on the right jaw, the scan seen by a dentist, he suggested a biopsy to be taken to know exactly its nature. But really i am reluctant. given that I received radiotherapy and any dental work is not advisable.
In regard to the lung nodules the oncologist says that it might well be an infection due to aspiration, he recommended Levofloxacin tabs and after three weeks I should repeat the CT scan, if the nodules responded to treatment that fine. otherwise, a biopsy should be taken from the nodule.
