Well when we went in for the ultrasound they had a good look at all of Chaz's neck and submandibular area but radiologists could find nothing that looked peculiar enough to warrant an FNA. She said there was some asymmetry but that was likely due to surgery and radio. I guess I am satisfied as whatever the dentist could feel has been there for between 7 months to a year and I am assuming of it was sinister it would look abnormal enough on ultrasound to warrant further examination by now.

I am still a bit worried about his lungs. I cant help reading bad omens into the fact that they had to do a second plate when he had an xray and the horrid bronchial chest cold he has had for the last week which knocked him out with a low grade fever for a few days. But on the whole am feeling much happier.

Thanks for all of your support.
