Going to ENT Friday, 02/22/13, Will ask about the scans. I did notice my hair and mustache is coming back, which is a nice surprise because I thought everything from the nose down to the shoulders was gone for good. Nothing on my neck is coming back, but that's ok.

My neck does hurt some when I lye on my side, but I read in HockyDad's post this is not uncommon, I will bring it up to my ENT Friday, but it is not bad... I will also Ask if I should drink beer, or not.

I did go to my regular MD and he said my Thyroid was fine and my blood work was fine. They did an ultrasound on my Thyroid..and blood tests of course. He had the numbers from my previous tests from a year or two ago, before the cancer.. He is the one that referred me to the ENT who found the cancer, so I trust him.

Guess I will have CAT scan in about 2-3 months... Thanks for all your help and suggestions and encouragement.
