6 year NED
H&N friends,
I crossed over the 6 year post barrier and had my final (actually one extra) cancer exam and it was great. My ENT was in a stellar mood and he felt, looked and scoped to several good words “Everything looks great”. Of course there were more doctor words about no swelling, no mass, no ulcer, patient has fibrosis from radiation and lack of saliva and a whole bunch of words which summed up to you are ok and do not need to come back (unless needed). We discussed his current load and he said 25% of his HPV+ patients are women and his average age is late 40’s to 50 years old.
As a reminder to where I was and what I was doing there. I thought I would be in and out of his office fast, so I did not take my water. It turned out I had a dry mouth and tickle in my throat and I started to cough. I ended up running back out to my car to retrieve my water bottle. So, not everything was cured.
Good Luck Everyone.
Matt

Looks like we both graduated
I was going to say we both graduated from the same class but I was told many times I have no class. So with that said I won't mock you by putting you there. I visit the site occasionally and ussually log off after seeing sad news with either losing a warrior or finding new faces beginning or currently in battle, so I have to say it is good to see good news right off the bat.
I tell people often that the University of Pennsylvania was the best place I ever got kicked out of. That was last January when I was told I was cured and truthfully I miss the place, I always felt at home when I walked into the place. That may sound odd but many have called me a sick **** but then I reply that I get paid very well to be one.
Congradulations Matt.......enjoy the day...........I do.............every one of them
