Hello, all. I want to thank you all for your prayers and concern. The biopsy results are in for my husband, Scott. The re-resection of margin taken from bone in his hard palate area on the 21st came back clean, thankfully, but the mysterious bumps that have popped up around his skin graft site on his neck are mets. We have to wait until Tuesday to find out what this means as far as treatment options (I spoke with a member of the surgical team, but not the "boss")...I'm assuming more surgery, I don't know. These bumps cover such a large area...it's just depressing as hell to think about it. frown I'm too tired and disappointed to be angry.

Christine
