Thank you Coleen! I'm still pretty depressed, but I am making some progress with treatment. I have a consultation set up for Friday at Froedhert in Milwaukee. I also have been in contact with Mayo as to a second opinion if needed . They are in the process of getting my records sent to them. My Oncologist called me today and told me the ENT that scoped me is not a Cancer specialist. I think she was trying to give some ray of hope. She wants some further testing before my consultation, so who knows. I am trying to keep upbeat, but it so damn hard. My wife try's to cheer me up,(God Bless her) , but I just can't stop thinking about a life win a file in my throat, especially since one of my passions is swimming. In short, I'm very much bummed. Thanks for your concern!! msherfinski
