Mark --

The initial area of concern was very small, and the excisional biopsy took a good-sized chunk with the idea of getting clean margins. The PET, which was scheduled a week after the biopsy report came back, was to determine whether there had been any spread and, if so, its extent. Am I missing something?

In any case, he is being seen by the folks at the Hopkins CCC, so he'll get a second evaluation.

Jerry --

On second thought, I think I'll go with a nice thank-you note to the (female) dentist -- and a contribution to OCF for what I would have spent on flowers. I trust that will meet with your approval!
