"Benign" is the word of the day!

Well, the results of last weeks biopsy were reviewed today with E.N.T. Dr. Matthew Straka and I'm happy to say that everything came back as benign!
There is still some swelling in the neck area which will require follow-ups, but all in all, I've been given a clean bill of health! Dr. Straka okayed me to return to Phoenix so that I may return to work, so now I just have one more appointment on the 14th of February with Dr. Sciccutella and
hope to be back to work before my 48th birthday which is February 26th!
Again, I must give a huge "Thank You" to everyone who has said prayers, sent prayer cards adding my name to prayer lists of the ill and just encouraged me along this journey. That has been a huge part of my success so far and hopefully will continue to be.
God Bless all of you!
