I had the chest CT last night, I see a new dr today to talk about my ear issue and possibly getting a tube placed in it. I was gonna ask him if a preliminary was in on the new CT, not sure if he will tell me. I have my phone nearby in case MD Anderson decides to call me with the news before I go there at 3pm....We shall see!
