My first appointment with the doc post surgery is tomorrow. I moved it up from the 18th due to what I am going to call a tightness and some soreness in my throat. This not the site of the operation which was floor of the mouth at the front of the base of the tongue. Of course, I am concerned. As discussed on this board previously, no CTs have been done, but tomorrow I am going to request that I have one done. This is too much uncertainty for me. Anyway, wish me luck.

John

Think Positive thought's John.

Were all with you.

Remember the first scan is your baseline. They may not be able to say one way or another. The second scan 6 to 8 weeks later is the telling one. When they can compare the two they can see what's going on.

Hoping you just have a normal sore throat!!!

Your Friend, Danny Boy
