About Author:

Hi, I'm Dwight. I started the PatientsForum in 2001 after my second surgery as a way to connect parotid surgery patients and collect information on treatments. I've now had 3 surgeries over a 17 year period and will start RT in January of 2009.

Weekend Off

I've gained 2 pounds in the first 3 weeks of RT

Today is Sunday and I'm feeling really good. It's nice to have a couple days off from the treatments. I'm going to the mall for a little exercise and a hair cut.

I've been taking movies of my face muscles once a week. When I get significant movement back I will post some of them to show how slow the recovery process can be. It takes a lot of patience. I just started seeing my cheek muscle try to move when I smile.
