welcome to the family Donald. There is a true wealth on information at this site, it certainaly helped me. I too had a great med team, and they a did a great job, (Clear PET early Dec) but none of them had gone through the hell we have been through. The folks here understand spit, pain, can't swallow, burning neck, being down, being up....all first hand experience!

So read the posta, ask questions keep us informed on your progress.
