Had a small scare.
Who am I kidding, it was more than small.

Went for Hubbys 2 month regular clinic appt 9/25 and they found a 1/2" lesion on the original tonsil site.
Drs wanted it removed ASAP so we did the pre-op that day for Friday.
He went in for the surgery and the DR called and said the pathology showed all clear.
There was no tumor just irritated from the radiation.
They took a little over 1/2 the tonsil by laser. That sure has slowed him down.

Just kept remembering "It ain't cancer till the biopsy says it is".
Thank you for this forum, kept me sane.

This forum stops me from doing what I read on an old pillow

"when in danger
when in doubt

run in circles
scream and shout"

Hope it helps someone else

Maggie,
I'm glad everything is OK. May I suggest throwing the pillow out. Get a new one printed that says, "It ain't cancer till the biopsy says it is".

Cheers,

Mike

Mike,
Wouldn't that be a conversation starter sitting on the couch.
LOL

Maggie,
I dare say it would be. Possibly a coversation that could benefit others.
Keep strong and stay the course.

Hugs,

Mike
