Hi Shelley,

We have been going to USC Norris for about 5 years. Overall we are happy with the the doctors and Norris as they have taken good care of us. We also have a support group (www.hncsupport.org) at Norris which meets the first Saturday of the month and which we have attended for the last several years and find helpful.

We have decided on the biopsy.

I read your other posts and I was very happy to hear that in Ron's case the doctor feels that it may be an infection which is great news indeed.

Best of luck to you and Ron also.

Vin
