Pete,
Keep up the great attitude! It comes through in your posts. I may be fooling myself, but I'm convinced that a good attitude and a sense of humor went a long way in helping me through treatment and recovery.
Your ENT is right. They may be the experts, but they're also human. Stay involved. Don't just lay there and take it. Best wishes for your upcoming treatment.

Good Health,

Chuck
