After all the ravages of this treatment, my mouth is still tender and sore. The gums have receded and my dentist now sees me every 4 months for a minor clean and check. He has found the beginning of decay in a back tooth so fixes it right away.
A month ago I decided I would like to see my surgeon, Dr. Robert Lui, again, 14 months after surgery, although I have no real problems to discuss with him. He takes lots of time to chat and examine me thoroughly. He is concerned that I have not heard the results of my May 2 ultrasound and will check them himself next day. I later find he called me both days subsequently then left a message for Linda in his office to contact me after the long weekend. I find there is an irregularity with something hidden behind an artery in my neck, so another biopsy is called for. I contact my oncologists again to find out what is happening. I will call daily until they return my calls!
Dr. Lui is a first class surgeon, with an excellent manner and caring, concerned attitude. We both like him a lot. After his examination he is happy that there is no enlargement of any palpable lymph nodes so I feel relieved that he agrees with Dr. Paterson on this. Linda in his office is also a delightful person to deal with, all this makes it easier when you are going through the system and have questions that need answers. He is very confident in my GP Dr. Waymouth which makes me feel good too.
