Just left hospital. My dad had the dilation procedure and everything went well. The doctor said he saw no evidence of cancer. He will stay overnight. He mentioned something about the tool they use to do the procedure, they start at 10 and go up in thickness to 20. He got to 19 with my dad, only because he could not get my dad's jaw open any further. Thanks again for all your kind words and prayers
