Has anyone had this done? It's scheduled for Friday the 25th. Would appreciate any advice, like with pain afterward, swallowing, etc.    Becky   wordweasel Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Why do they want to take it out? Did they biopsy it?Rick rick51 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT It was biopsied a while back (SSC)--after my 33 rad. treatments it had shrunk, but not completely.  Becky  wordweasel Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
