She felt his neck, looked in his mouth and scoped him for the first time since we began this journey. When she finished the exam she told him everything looked "wonderful," and for us to have a great summer and come back in the fall. At that time she will do a CT scan.
Naturally we were elated to get a good report but I wanted to ask you all about the scope test. What does "wonderful" tell us - it's healing well? there's no sign of recurrence?? I just wasn't sure if a good scope result was a good measuring stick. Thanks for bearing with my ignorance.......Debbie
