Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I talked to one of my DR's this morning when he finally called. He wants to keep a check on my lungs but said that something shows On the PetScan in my throat. Kind of figured that . Now when Dr Ozer calls , I hope he tells me about my throat and what it shows. This waiting can make a person kinda antsy. LOL Will keep you informed as to what is going on.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
