Well, I had a biopsy before going back in for suggested HBO treatments and it came back invasive cancer.

I had a clear MRI 2 weeks ago, but getting a PET on Thursday and results Friday.

I hope this hasn't spread to my trachea, larynx or lungs. Otherwise I will probably need a flap and graft.

I'm not ready for this.

This is my 4th time around.
