My last post was over 6-months ago reporting the results of my first Whole Body Scan. The plan was to have another one in January 2008 (which I just completed last week) and I am VERY happy to report that everything came back CLEAR with no evidence of remaining cancerous thyroid cells anywhere in my body. That is very good news. I will have another scan this summer.
I also have an appointment to get injections of Bovine Collagen into my throat to move my paralyzed vocal cord closer to the working one. I first have to have a video made of my vocal cords while talking so the Doctor can have a better understanding where to make the injections. Dr. Hoffman says that my voice should return to very close to what it was before all of this happened. The collagen will eventually be absorbed into my body, allowing the vocal cord to move back. But at that time, if everything sounds good after the temporary injections, they will inject something (I do not know what) that will be permanent.
I don't know if I will ever be able to sing in the choir, but I hope to be something back close to normal. My voice now is functional and I appreciate everyone who comments on how well it sounds these days. But it would be nice to be "booming" again.
I will keep you updated on the vocal chord injections.
The you Lord for all of my blessings!
Jeff
