cytology was done, no cancer cells, and not sure if fungal cultures were
sent,
I will mention the titers though for cryptococcus- not a bad idea. They
are
kept in a basement room- although 1/2 basement and not damp like a
regular one-
he doesn't go outside.

Biopsy would be done if a scope can be found to pass through the nose, if
not
he mentioned going up and over the soft palate and seeing what he can
from
behind the nose.

Thank you so much,

Patty
