Jeff did quite a bit of reading online last night about throat cancer (against my better judgement because I was afraid he would just worry more) and even those he does have quite a few of the symptoms he is convinced that he is just suffering from vocal chord strain.
Every morning when he wakes up he feels completely normal and as the day goes on and he talks on the phone and with brokers when he is doing office visits he starts to develop what feel like a ball in his throat which makes it difficult for him to swallow and by the end of the day he can hardly speak without severe discomfort. So this morning when he woke up he decided to try a little experiment. He thought it would be a good test to go all day without talking and see if he had any problems. He kind of figured that if it was "cancer" it would hurt no matter how much he spoke. I'm happy to report that he has been fine all day so we are crossing our fingers that this is the problem and that there is a simple fix for it. I will admit though that it has been really annoying not being able to have a conversation with him other than texting or him writing down what he wants to say on a pad of paper.
We are really hoping to hear back from the doctor tomorrow before the weekend. I will post an update as soon as we find out something for sure. Thanks so much for all of your prayers!!!
