Thanks for a reply so quickly. I am 63 years old, was 61 at time of discovery. I was and am otherwise excellent health. I take a lot of vitamins but being in the health field business I see so many Drs. who just don't seem to take an interest. I feel better when you mentioned the ENT as a good follow up, he seems to have the most interest in my progress. I would certainly like to have a beer or two on a Fri. with the girls after work, the ENT tells me one or two a week would not hurt but the secondhand smoke would probably not be good. Any information/ experience or knowledge on this? Of cource a beer or two certainly is not worth a chance on a reoccurance!! Thanks again. Consue
