Christine,
He chose not to do a biopsy because all he could see was scar tissue and was afraid that all he would get on the biopsy was scar tissue like he did in February when he did the biopsy. He said that he did not want to leave any stone unturned. He did go back and look at my PET from April, and was the first one to say that I did have some uptake on that PET but it was attributed to continued healing from radiation. So he said let's go ahead and do another make sure that uptake is decreasing and not increasing. I think he is concerned because my ear pain is acting just like it did last year in Sept. and Oct. I am calling my insurance company this morning to ask if it has been approved yet. Anyway I will keep you all pposted. I am praying ti is just me being paranoid.
