Biopsy results

First biopsy was negative. Second biopsy, image guided, was also negative. We still do not know what is causing this lump in my neck. Another PET scan in 2 to 3 months.

Fuck me. Again.

Three new areas of activity on PET scan since late June, one in the jaw, one in the lower right neck, and right medial pterygoid muscle. Biopsy today on one of the lumps in the neck. Results next week.

Annual PET/CT scan

Annual PET/CT scan was all clear. I continue to speak with just one functional vocal cord, my left side. The sinus infections have cleared also. Life is awesome!

New friend and small update

My last sinus CT scan in December was unremarkable. The coughs still continue, my voice is still the same, life is as normal as it will be for me.

I've developed a sinus and ear infection that put me out of work for a few days. That was painful, mostly on the left side of my head.

This seems very promising, targeted therapy for NPC: http://www.news-medical.net/news/20120202/Blood-cell-therapy-works-for-nasopharyngeal-cancer-Study.aspx

Happy new year.
