At this point I am being very careful not to leap to conclusions about things I don't fully understand, but I just got some news that sure feels like good news. I will know more next week.

My wife called the ENT office at the Medical College to check on my appointment time for tomorrow. One of the doctors who works for my doctor came on the line and told her that the pathology report had come in from my biopsy. He said that the report said there was no indication of cancer cells in the samples, but there was evidence of "chronic inflammation". That does not sound like necessarily a "good" thing, but it sure does sound better than hearing that they found cancer.

I have an appointment for a CT scan next Wednesday and will see my doctor later that day. I'm trying not to be too excited about this, as I don't really know what it means, but I seem to have a big grin on my face anyway.
