Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I wrote so you may not remember me but wanted to let you all know about my experience with PDT (laser treatment).I won't go into the long story and my bad experience at HUP in Philly. Had pet scan in Sept.at UPMC that showed activitie, had biopsies, found some carcinoma in situ. Had the PDT at UPMC in Pitts. Pa., end of Nov. Just last week had Pet scan which was clear as a whistle. So the PDT worked in my case. The treatment took a week but was not that bad and didn't hurt.

Best wishes and luck to all of you

Hi Marlene,
That is great news. Thanks god you didn't have that esophageal surgery. How's the eating? Has that improved since the laryngectomy? Hope all is going well for you.

Take care,
Eileen

Hi Marlene,

I remember you and glad to hear you are doing so much better. Was concerned when you weren't posting for awhile. Know it got really rough for you for a time. Great news on the petscan and just keep on healing and getting stronger.

Take care,

Nancy
