Julieann,

Thanks for the king thought. I had a chance to speak with Brian Hill today. He reminded me that the lung problems may be related to aspiration issues (which I have). I remember seeing many of those issues pop up on the boards in the past but completely forgot about that. Aspirated material that gets infected will light up a PET.
So even if the node in the neck is positive, I still will want to see what the biopsy of the lungs shows. They are setting that up ASAP.
I feel I need to stop panicking even when my doctor is going in a very pointed direction. The biopsy�s will tell the tale and I will just have to wait before selling all I have and spending my last remaining days at a beach resort in Costa Rica. I may survive and spend my real last remaining days, dead broke and bussing tables at a seedy bar in Costa Rica.
