Hi Kelly, Glad to hear the good news! Congratulations!

Regarding your letter, great idea. So much damage is done by doctors who make assumptions. J is still paying the price for his first ENT's failure to order a biopsy of what appeared on the PET.

Anne-Marie's comments are right on the money. I particularly like her suggestion about sending your ENT the link for the OCF.

Regarding our situation, I plan to send a letter to J's ENT, RO, and the diagnosing pathologist as soon as I am able to keep my anger about the matter under control.
