Thanks, guys. Yes, waiting is one of the hardest parts.

Nancy, they told me that they felt that an MRI with contrast would give them the "best picture" of my anatomy. I had a couple of CT scans with contrast when I was having trouble with my tonsils and nothing like cancer showed up in the tonsil, when in fact it was there both times. They didn't find it until surgery.

Thanks for your support.

Love in OCF,
Kerri
