Biopsy canceled

At closer look, the ONC went over PET and CT with radiologist. They determined the spot behind collar bone was a tracer and no biopsy was needed. That was concerning because he originally said "if we biopsy and it is cancer, it is less than 1 cm and can be easily removed. If, we wait and see and it grows it will be more of a problem". I had an appt. with my GP and he had a resident radiologist look at the scans, they called today and said it was not cancer but an artifact in test but I should still get an opinion from my radiologist at Mayo. I was happy to tell them that I had done that and Mayo concurred. Mayo does want me to come up there and have another PET which I will do in August. Happy to say, I guess that makes me NED as we speak.

Still battling cellulitus with antibiotics and see new ENT tomorrow. Hopefully, he will easily address some of the smaller issues that have recently been worrying me. I think most are tied in to the cellulitus because some of the concerns have started to improve.

I'm ready for a break but looking like more hyperbarics will be needed for dental work. I did 30 dives a year ago to do dental then had my first recurrance so dental went on back burner. Doubtful those 30tx will still be considered good and they were mighty expensive, I want to say close to $30,000 insurance and $600 out of my pocket. Will do what I have to but would rather be on vacation!
