Well there is some very good news from the Mayo Clinic. They did a biopsy on me and it came back NED for any C, they still want to review the MD Anderson PET scan for a final judgment but as the doctor said with the biopsy being negative on any cancer she don’t think anything will change.

As far as to why I am in so much pain they can’t really said only advise me on how to manage it. There is a lot of swelling in the head this is due to being treated twice with radiation, and as the doctor said I am one of the very lucky one to be in the condition I am in.

Anyway I will keep my appointment now with MD Anderson on the 1st & 2nd of next month and hope I can find more answers to the question about pain and weakness.

To all of you my CSN family I greatly appreciate all your thought and prayers in our behalf

    Thank you so much for the prayers, some how the pain don't hurt so much now that I know it is not cancer. The mind is a very strong tool sometimes

    Hi Stacey
    Thanks and yes you are right maybe the next doctor will be the one for the pain.

    I do want to share with all who has NPC cancer there is a ENT doctor here at the Mayo clinic who has worked with a lot of us NPC cancer people and really knows what she is doing and know what she is seeing. I was very relaxed after meeting her and having her do the biopsy right in her office without putting me under.

    Thanks again and take care

    I didn't really think of you having a swelled head when we met and had dinner in Tampa....:)

    Glad there are no signs of cancer, definitely good news there. Hoping that fishing trip will be in the near future....

    Best always bro, give your wife a hug, and hope the son is doing well also.

    Great news Hondo, what a relief it must be. And just knowing it isn't cancer has to lessen the pain even just a bit. Cheers

    Great news!!!
    Great news Hondo, there isn't much news that is better than hearing your biopsy came back negative for cancer.

    Hopefully they will soon be able to determine what is causing your pain and help you with that.

    Stay well,
