Ed woke up with a slight swollen throat yesterday morning. Although it was annoying, he wasn't very concerned because it wasn't sore. This morning his throat was worse and he was unable to talk. His oncologist Dr. Willen was "mystified" about the cause of the swollen throat with no other symptoms, and arranged for Ed to get an MRI to check the lesion at the base of his skull (caused by the multiple myeloma).
Chemo was cancelled today, and postponed until Monday. Ed's general practitioner Dr. Ryan had Ed take some Benadryl and his throat improved. No need to make another Dr. appointment this afternoon. He probably won't get the results of the MRI until Monday. What caused this ailment? The medications? allergies? Ed will most likely blame it on the cats - who are living outside for the summer.
Unfortunately Nurse Cratchett is not allowing Ed to go out and play with his friends or run any more errands. He needs to be ready for his stem cell treatment in a few weeks. Ed is not feeling up to Blogging recently - so I will keep you updated. Another day in paradise.
