It's been awhile so I thought I would post an update on how things were going. So for so good for testicular cancer. I had an ultra sound and blood tests awhile back that all came back negative. Big time Yippee! for that. In about a week I go in for a regularly scheduled CAT Scan and another ultra sound in December.
On the swallowing front things have gone backwards a bit. I have read about other cancer patients that have had to go back for "maintenance" procedures but was hoping I wouldn't fall into that category. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case so I have started up the dilation procedures again. My first one in this series, 17th overall, was a little over a week ago. That procedure got me back to 16.5. I have another one setup for December. My guess is that it will take 2-4 more procedures to get back to 20 MM then I will have to set up some sort of maintenance schedule to stay there. Hopefully it isn't more than once a year. Other than that things are going well.

It's good to hear from you after a while. Keep strong.
Tom, your blog came to my rescue on very very sad day.. What was the exact diagnosis of your nasopharyngeal carcinoma? (T?N?M?) what stage was it?
I don't have the exact details as far as (T?N?M?). I was a high stage 3 or low stage 4 depending upon the doctor. Good luck.
