The "Fun" Never Ends - Double Check

Just when Gerry felt like he was making good progress 

in recovering from the latest surgery,

he felt a tingle in the tooth
that had needed a bit of attention

but was lower on the list of health priorities
than lung tumor issues.

He also knew that he needed an oral surgeon
for 2 other procedures.

So on Tuesday he went for oral surgery!

He absolutely HAD to get the one tooth removed 

in order to be pain free, 

then decided that while he's there, 

(and while he's got pain medication),

he'll go ahead and get the implant post & bone graft that are recommended

for a happy smile and strong jaw.

Now the swelling in the chest has gone down considerably 

and moved to his face!

The "Fun" never ends!

Gerry's appointment with his Oncologist 

yielded the "Double Check" result that he wanted.

He needed to hear from Dr. Smith-Marrone 

that he will not need treatments after this last surgery

and that's what she told him!

He will, for the next two years, get a chest scan with contrast every 4 months.

For the third year he gets the scan every 6 months, then annually after that.

Although he was holding his face due to the tooth pain

he had a BIG smile as he received the news!

Great news.... again!

Check... and double check!
