Medical Appointment - November 11, 2009

Jerry continues to visit his oncologist once a month. Yesterdays appointment was fairly routine as it has been since February. Jerry's PSA remains at 0.07. We are so delighted that Jerry has been doing so well.

Jerry has had a little bit of a set back... but, we are hoping it turns out to be nothing. Jerry started having pain in his mouth similar to when he was experiencing pain before being diagnosed with ONJ (Osteonecrosis of the Jaw). He started having the pain around Thursday and by Friday the pain was getting worse. Saturday I contacted our dentist who started him on an antibiotic. You may remember what Jerry went through last year when he developed Colitis when he took antibiotic's. The antibiotic started curing the infection and the pain has subsided.

We will be following up on with UCLA who cares for Jerry's ONJ.
