Great news! All went well with todays procedure. The doctor did not find anything new today. As our doctor put it, things were "clean as a whistle". so there was nothing new to biopsy. There were no surprises so the only thing we have to deal with is the 3 cm SCC tumor in the mouth.

Oncology appt on Monday followed by Radiation Oncology appt on Wed. We are beginning to see progess instead of just waiting.....

I have made a binder to keep my my medical notes, calendar and doctors information organized and in one place. It has been very helpful and it has given me a sense of control over a situation that I have little control over.

This forum is a wonderful source of information. I am very happy I have found it at the beginning stages of our long journey.

For those that asked..... Brian is being treated in Santa Cruz, CA.
