No surprise - it's positive. We should hear from doc tomorrow I would think on what surgical approach he will take.

I'm strangely calm about it, I guess because it is what we expected - doc gave no indications it would be anything else. Bob took it well. He had a regularly scheduled appt with Medical Oncologist (chemo doc) today for bloodwork and talked to him about it. He said he still thinks his chances are good and they can always follow up with some chemo if necessary after the surgery. I'm glad Bob saw him this week, he is a very calming, caring doc - whereas our lead doctor, ENT Oncologist SURGEON (that should explain it) doesn't have much bedside manner.

Keep the prayers coming please.... Thanks!

    Your family is in my prayers
    I'm so sorry to hear that the biopsy came back positive. My husband has his biopsy next week, Tuesday. His doctor told him pretty much the same thing, that he's pretty sure the cancer is back. He will have to have surgery as well. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
