Although this blog is primarily an account of my encounter with mouth cancer (and now the spread of that to my lungs), it also touches on the case of Margaret, my ex-wife. By what seems a very unlikely coincidence, Margaret was also diagnosed with a mouth cancer. Hers is a tumour on the tongue rather than one on the floor of the mouth, but still it does seem a coincidence. We are able to compare notes and give each other a certain amount of support.
Margaret had her last radiation therapy session today. Her mouth has started hurting more over the last week or so — making it impossible to eat normal food but her doctors say it should improve over the next week. She seems to be handling it all well and certainly likes the doctors who have been treating her.
