OK, guys, longterm side effect........Fistulas, I have lost count of ours..Friday, I dragged packer to the docs, much against his will, as usual, front of his patchwork neck looked swollen, me being old hawkeye, didn`t like the looks of it, started antibiotics, last night noticed squishy swelling near swelling........well, overnight it busted {best word here to discribe it} massive amount of crap came out, albeit, swelling on neck has gone down. For some unknown reason this one scared Packer............I`m acting the nurse and reassuring him, checked last email from our plastic surgeon telling me this is normal and will reoccur with basically no solution but to treat the fistula..........I think with this new tumor lurking that this one is scaring him.............so, if anybody has fistula stories please share.........thanks, Dee
