Thanks again to all of the well wishers in this forum.
For anyone considering or needing this procedure: The recovery has been a breeze. Three nights in the hospital for monitoring. Pain pills continued for a couple of days after that. Eleven days post surgery now and just a slight tightness type of pain when fully expanding lungs. Chief of Thoracic Surgery from Mass General did the procedure. Would highly recommend to anyone interested.


SCC left tonsil dx 8/15/09. finished 7 weeks chemo and rad. on 11/20/09. PEG tube 9/18/09 to 4/17/10. HPV 16+; non-smoker. CT Scan and F/up PET on 4/5/11 showed positive mass in R. Lung. Surgically removed and biopsy negative 5/16/11.
