I had a PET scan that showed 2 hot lymph nodes in my neck that came back inconclusive and then negative after they took 4 or 5 of them out. These scans are not 100% conclusive and even if it turns out to be true, God is stronger. Speak out loud to Him and He will listen and act on your behalf. That is the promise and after all I have been through so far, I believe it.

The ENT said he didn't see anything suspicious but the biopsy will tell. They are going to check for any type infection, as I have had pseudomonas in the past (over a year ago) so they will check for that and any other bacterial/fungal infection that could have reacted to the MRI contrast. Our poor immune systems are so succeptible to these type things following radiation. Anyway, I will let you know as soon as I know something. God Bless you all, and keep your prayers coming. Peas Suzanne and Cheryl will be hearing from Pea 3, hopefully to do our Happy Dance. Hugs, julieann

Biopsy results yesterday and not so good news. After the PDT I'm still in the same boat with moderate dysplasia on the right side of my mouth. I'm pretty sad and I cried a lot last night. I actually had some hope this time....
I'm hoping to hear good news from everyone else:) I will still dance to celebrate you!!
Love to all, Suzanne
