In Limbo a Little Longer

Based on advice from my doctors yesterday, we pushed back my scan to 5 December. This is to reduce the odds of a false positive reading. "Positive," in this case, means "still see some cancer" so we want to avoid that...

They really don't expect to find anything in the tonsil area. Based on the initial size of the lump in my neck (lymph node), they expect to see "something" there. Based on their experience, which is vast, the something is usually just scar tissue, but the only way to be sure is to go in and cut it out. We'll see.

That's the latest!
