Journal entry by Susan Kleber —
Today, Peter and I went to Augusta University Medical Center for follow up with the ENT surgeon. He says the pathology was clear, which means that they got the tumor out down to good, healthy tissue. He will present my case to the tumor board on Thursday. He thinks that they will not require me to do radiation, and he is recommending that I have a laryngoscopy 1-2 times this year. They will put me to sleep and do a good look in there. Then, after this, I will be followed closely for 5 years. The prognosis is great! He really does not think I will see this tumor reoccur. Wow and praise God! I am healing nicely, and will see my throat return to “normal” in a couple of weeks. I will NEVER be able to thank my friends and family enough for the prayers, love, meals, flowers and support. Thank you all so much! I have felt the hand of God every step of the way.
