We know the feeling of incompetence! Our Dr. ordered a CT for thurs. Read it as clean, nothing there, and on friday, during an esophygeal dilation, he 'finds' something on my epiglottis and pulls a biopsy. It came back positive. Three months ago I had a CT on a tues. Dr. spotted two suspicious places, went in to excise (cut) a dollop (divot) of my tongue that came up clean as a bell. No cancer cells anywhere in it. So, who and when do you place your faith and trust in anymore? These guys are messing with a red headed wolverine (my wife) who takes NO prisoners!

In the course of this journey, one and a half years, she has managed to get one RN fired and a Radiation Dr. replaced. She doesn't do 'incompetence' very well. Man it is great to have her on my side! 10 of her in Viet Nam and we would have been out in 2 months. Winning!

If anyone has had a problem with the epiglottis, let me know what they did for it. Thanks Gnoled


I have found that attitude can make a world of difference.
