Pat,

Whew! I am glad that you got some good news regarding the PET. As for the trach, you will do fine with it. All of this "stuff" is manageable, not pleasant but doable. Most importantly, you are on the right path and are in good hands. Jerry (wilckdds) was treated at Fox Chase and he was very pleased with his team.
