Hi Rosie, Yes,I do like him much better and am more comfortable with him.But I will say that the skill of said sugeon was not an issue,because I can see his work and it is good.The radiologiist is much more approchable.He ordered a PET/CT scan and found the cancer.It is now stage IV-base of tongue primary,and there is still cancerous activity in my left nodal area.Out go all the top teeth,but my front bottom are salvagable! I'm feeling a little depressed about this whole thing but.... I am so glad to hear Heather can go home soon,and is improving!I don't want to take up your time but if you could give me a little insight about what kind of surgery might happen now I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your reply,and my prayers are with you and everyone I read from in here...Sue(susanlaura1)
