I really hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to post that I'm still waiting for the results from biopsy. I had the biopsy last Monday but with the holiday weekend, it could be delayed a bit. My follow up appt is on Monday, and they may just wait to tell me the results at that time. I went home to Oklahoma this weekend and it was good to be around my cousins. I'm trying to remain calm but the waiting is so hard. MD Anderson called me on Saturday and got all of my insurance verified. They were very kind and wanted to call me on Saturday because they would be out of the office on Monday. I have copies of CT scan and now I'm waiting on pathology report and they will see me. The lady explained that MD Anderson is not a diagnostic hospital but because if my labs come back suspect at all, they will see me. I'm nervous but taking it one day at a time. Somtimes I take it one minute at a time lol. I also had my follow up with ENT yesterday. He was very patient and showed my my scans and looked at a small bump that is on my mandible rigth beside the biopsy site. The bump is not on the other side but he said that it was just a part of my mandible and if it were anything more it would have shown on the CT scan. In his defense he pulled back up the scan to view that area again. I appreciated that a lot. When i was leaving he said we would do another CT down the road to monitor the Cyst in my nasal passage. I asked him if he wanted me to contact him for follow up if my biopsy came back unusal. He told me yes, and then said, "I can't imagine it would come bak as anything other than inflammation." I thanked him and left. He was very kind and took a lot of time with me. He stated that I looked better and he was glad to see me smiling. I really don't fault him and hope that I can continue to smile when I get my results. The only thought that made me sad, is that if another 30 something went to him for help and left that office feeling great but wasn't educated enough to know to go for a second opinion. I live in Dallas TX, and saw my ENT at UT Southwestern which is a teaching hospital and my ENT is so dated in his knowledge. But I'm still grateful for all of his help and for him ordering the scan. I think he helped me as much as his knowledge allowed him. So here's praying to great results for me and continued good health for everyone on this board.
