Hi Sharon,

I have met to the lungs but they aren't as concerned with that as they are the reoccurance in the original surgical bed. (right tonsil)

They also told me that mets to the lungs cannot be cured. I thought that rather odd. If you read my posting on my recent (8/6/04) scan results you would understand my confusion. The scan showed a noticeable decrease in mass of abnormal enhancing soft tissue in the right tonsillar bed since the previous study. (6/6/04) They inferred this is just a slow down and not a cure. Although happy with the scan results they were vere cautious about giving me any false hope.

If what they predict is true I am terminal. It may be 6 months or it may be 5 years. No one can tell me anything for sure. I feel fine and continue to be as active as i can.

Please know I and many others are thinking about you Sharon. Hoping your treatment delivers what we all seek.
